Install and use GNOME Tweaks to hard-set dark theme.
P.S. If you have your home page set to “Blank Page,” it’s going to be white. Designate a “custom” home page or “most visited sites,” if you want to avoid white.
Or set it to start in “Incognito mode.” That will be dark.
If you first activate Adwaita-dark in the Tweaks app, then set a custom home page, e.g. DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Searx, etc., the home page will display dark. See the last image in the tutorial I linked earlier.
Ok, so I installed the screenshot app.
With it also other bagage: icon browser,screen recorder, Contact import.
How can I delete those? Tried the usual sudo apt purge and also autoremove but no can do!!
Looks like they only install as a bundle, not individually. (@Kyle_Rankin built (EDIT: a part of ) that, I believe, so maybe he can advise whether they’re individually uninstallable or not.) If the extra utilities bother you, you can uninstall librem5-goodies to get rid of them all.
If you still want a screenshot app, an alternate is shown here:
How to uninstall librem5 goodies? The uninstall button is not activating the uninstall process.
Sudo apt purge is not recognising the the installed screenshot app. What is the correct coding?
As always thank you very much.
Search for it in the store app (by typing in “screenshot”), find it within any results, install it.
-or-
Install it from the command line. If you’re unsure of the exact package name, you can do an apt search to try and find it using a keyword, i.e. apt search screenshot. (Hint: GNOME packages frequently start with “gnome-” followed by a descriptive name.)
Note that in the store, GNOME apps don’t always show the “gnome-” in the display name.
Open the Terminal (Shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + T) 2. Type the following command: sudo apt-get update 3. Press Enter or Return and type in your password 4. Type the following command: sudo apt-get installgnome-screenshot 5. Type Y and press Enter or Return To change the default file type to jpg:
Make the script executable and put it somewhere in your path and put the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ The script relies on grim, yad and libnotify-bin packages.
The next and last question for you is the following:
Is it possible to erase any one of the default apps that are part of the system? As an example, take the weather app. Can this be erased? Or maybe I should ask, are the apps individually uploaded without connection to other apps and vital system files?
Thank you.
Thank you so much! Dannyda has a good set of commands that I will print out and use probably often!
Amarok, as promised, you have been my source of information when I needed help!! But time has come to peddle on my own and find my own way.
You are the best!!
THANK YOU
I would make a corollary to that: For “beginner’s first steps” you shouldn’t be uninstalling anything.
It is easier to break a phone than to fix it.
I would also learn how to image the phone’s internal drive before uninstalling things. That way if you do break something, all you have to do is restore the last known good image.
