Re: HELP Can't delete - Application does not exist
I got 4 of those on my N950 and here some of the things I tried:
- Re-download from nokia store and remove from applications UI - Re-download from nokia store and remove using apt-get remove - Re-download from nokia store and remove using dpkg -r (and -P) - Re-download using apt-get and remove from applications UI - Re-download using apt-get and remove using apt-get remove - Re-download using apt-get and remove using dpkg -r (and -P) (I haven't try to remove using the "x" button while editing home screen as it caused the problem for me). Unfortunately, nothing worked. But magically, they disappeared by themselves today. I have no idea how this happened but I removed some others apps from the device earlier. The apps that were causing problem: real football, trojita, memailsettings and n9qtweak. The problem was solved when removing wazapp from device using the applications UI (because I was using the dev version and I wanted to go back to version 0.2.6). I reinstalled wazapp later and some others apps too (meeln and front camera) and the problem did not return. I also rebooted the device and booted to nitdroid and back to meego and there are no arrows down icon on my home screen. |

You could wait a day or two, cause occasionally they'll appear again somehow
9 hours using mv method, and still doesn't came up, hope for last. |
[HELP] How to remove installation icon?
1 Attachment(s)
I have this installation icon on my home screen but I have no idea why add I didn't try to install anything. This showed up after i ran out of battery and restarted after fully charging N9. Any ideas how to remove it? It says «Can't delete. Application does not exist». Thank you in advance.
[EDIT] This is a temporary solution to manually delete these files: http://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-82458.html If you have multiple useless icons, try this(with devel mode enabled): -Open terminal and enter: 1. devel-su 2. dbus-monitor --monitor 3. Try to uninstall the offending icon and you can see it's name from dbus-monitor output (control-c to exit) 4. Remove the offending .desktop-file from /usr/share/applications/..... If your problem isn't solved at all, try if "autoremove" remove your phantom icons. In terminal: apt-get autoremove But problem returns for every single app I uninstall... |
Re: [Solved] How to remove installation icon?
I had this problem after OTA to PR1.2. I never did sort it! I had a Thread on it too! but when i upgraded to PR1.3 i made sure i did it with a computer and completely wiped the phone.
Haven't had this problem since. but its very annoying! If it happens again I'll have to try this :) |
Re: [Solved] How to remove installation icon?
It seems that there is a bigger problem...
Whichever application is uninstalled, it leaves behind an empty installation icon on desktop. Only solution is to also remove the guilty application icon from /usr/share/applications/installer-extra directory. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Otherwise, whenever i uninstall anything, i also have to manually delete the respective ghost .desktop file from the /usr/share/applications/installer-extra directory... |
Re: Icons for applications that don't exist
There is a manual solution for this problem but I am afraid no permanent one... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...35#post1323335

I also have the same problem. Did the mv method worked, and if so, to which folder did you move those entries? |

Re: How to remove installation icon?
Problem gets stranger... Now, if I uninstall any app, all previous manually deleted download icons return!
I checked multiple threads without real solution: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83359 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80566 Any ideas? |
Re: [HELP] How to remove installation icon?
installer-extra is not a ghost directory; the files being there are right...
When you uninstall an application it deletes the .desktop file too; why it isn't happening for you i don't know... Any idea when this started happening? After installing/uninstalling a specific app? Can you post outputs of: Code:
apt-get clean |
