Elementary Plus configurator not showing in Slingshot - problem with old repository?

[tchotchke87]

I am missing the configurator in slingshot. Could someone please tell me how to completely remove elementaryPlus from Freya 0.3.1 so that I can try to install it again?

I initially installed Elementary plus from this repository: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:justsomedood/justsomeelementary && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install elementary-plus

The configurator was not showing up in slingshot. I googled to discover that it's an old bug: https://github.com/mank319/elementaryPlus/issues/265

Then, I tried installing it again like this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybre/elementaryplus sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install elementaryplus

But I get: Estrazione di elementaryplus (1.0+248+42~ubuntu14.04.1)... [extraction] dpkg: errore nell'elaborare l'archivio [error elaborating the archive]

/var/cache/apt/archives/elementaryplus_1.0+248+42~ubuntu14.04.1_all.deb (--unpack): tentata sovrascrittura di "/usr/share/icons/elementaryPlus/status/24/state-sync.svg" presente anche nel pacchetto elementary-plus 1-git~jsd-090415 [tried overwriting stat in e-sync.svg also present in ... 415]

dpkg-deb: errore: il sottoprocesso paste è stato terminato dal segnale (Pipe interrotta) [the paste subprocess has been terminated by the signal]

Si sono verificati degli errori nell'elaborazione: [errors in the elaboration] /var/cache/apt/archives/elementaryplus_1.0+248+42~ubuntu14.04.1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Thanks a lot,

Try removing the previously installed elementary-plus package first.

well I've tried: sudo apt-get purge elementaryplus.

and then again: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybre/elementaryplus sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install elementaryplus

but there's stil no configurator in slingshot.

Is the elementary-plus package from ppa:justsomedood/justsomeelementary still present on the system?

[tchotchke87]

I would say so, but I can't quite understand how to remove all traces of elementaryplus from my system, so that I can reinstall it from scratch.

Lets start fresh. You're going to remove both packages.

1. sudo apt-get remove --purge elementary-plus elementaryplus
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:justsomedood/justsomeelementary --remove (remove justsomedood's repo, skip if you use some other piece of software from his repo)
3. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybre/elementaryplus (just to make sure you have the repo in your sources)
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
6. sudo apt-get install elementaryplus

@tchotchke87 Do you still have the issue after following these instructions?

[jchrom]

I just had the exact same problem and solved it successfully following these instructions. Thanks ;-)
