Fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10. I have uninstalled and re-install Tixati and it keeps preventing other work we are trying to do. Every time we open Software Center, it is stuck on the Tixati install page and will not respond except to close. As well, we need to re-install Software Center but the command (sudo apt-get purge software-center) kicks out this response.


sudo apt-get purge software-center

We have un- and then re-install Tixati (from .deb) including purge command but after re-install, it returns with one of the torrents that was downloading before uninstall (it did this after the first purge and re-install). If there is a next time we have to do this, how do we completely remove it from Ubuntu 18.10?

You need gconf2.

Try:
sudo apt-get install gconf2
and then
apt-get -f install
second command should fix Tixati installation.

To remove Tixati completely delete the ~/.tixati directory.
