removing of f23 template did not go as planned

[cubit]

Has anyone else run into this.  I was attempting to remove the Fedora 23  template as I no longer use it.

I removed my cloned F23 templates with the gui manager and that went OK but when I did a dnf remove from terminal in dom0  for the main template I got a bunch of file not found errors and even though it says it removed the template and can't be found with dnf list or in qubes manager,  the template entry is still in my application menu.

Any suggestions on how to clean this up properly would be appreciated

Below if the output of dnf remove

$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-23

Fixed,  the dnf remove cleaned up everything but the .desktop files.  rm'ing those got rid of the app menu entries

[raah...@gmail.com]

it just happened to me

[raah...@gmail.com]

you might want to give example template name cause I was typing qubes-template-fedora-23 before realizing needed to be just fedora-23.

Hi Andrew,

THe provided insutrctions still leave the fedora-23 entry in the Applications Menu. Any hint on how to remove that?

I recall a message or thread recently that explained how to remove that. You might want to try searching the archives.

thanks!!

[raah...@gmail.com]

not working for me man even after a reboot fedora-23 still in the start menu. any ideas? I looked in the applications-merged directory and don't see it?

[raah...@gmail.com]

actually I see debian, qubes, and whonix files in there. I don't even see fedora-24 in that directory.

oh sorry this is another machine I just happened to notice fedora-23 on start menu. I never noticed before lol one of the steps 1-3 did it on here.

I'll try step 4 on the other machine that has fedora-23 in start menu which I've already tried steps 1-3 on.
