Hi, how to get rid of that app? and why it is forced ?
i have removed all /usr/share/applications/ octopi files but that didn’t do much
octopi still starts along with OS, have nothing in autostart
obraz

Ya, not sure myself why all of a sudden the notifier from Octopi after an update wanted to do that.
I don’t have it on my system now, but it should be
octopi-notifier-framework and/or octopi-notifier-qt . Both are listed as optional dependencies.

Lately I’ve been removing Octopi from my systems because it is just causing annoyances like this and I haven’t been using it lately at all anyways. Also, it uses Qt5 / knotifications5 for notifications still…

This is just a widget → edit mode + delete.

In version “0.16.0-1” of octopi the octopi-notifier is integrated.

Edit: Edit mode → System tray → Configure → Entries → octopi-notifier → Allways hidden.

Edit 2 : If you want to get rid of this completely, delete: /etc/xdg/autostart/octopi-notifier.desktop.

Well, that certainly explains it. :sweat_smile: Didn’t think it would forcibly place a widget of all things.
Edit: or at least a persistent system tray icon

So can i completely and safely remove octopi from my system?

If you don’t need octopi, just uninstall it.

If Octopi is removed would you say Pacman, Yay & Parui are adequate replacements?

pacman is not a replacement but the standard package manager from Arch.
octopi is just a GUI frontend for pacman.
paru is just an AUR helper.
You can use pacseek in the terminal as a replacement for octopi.

Pacman, makepkg, and checkupdates is all that is ever needed in an Arch system. But you run Garuda.

Personally, I always install Octopi in Plasma. But never, ever the notifier. There’re updates daily. Who needs to be reminded? And I only use it in certain circumstances.

What I am suggesting is to learn the tools you’ve been given in Garuda and the fundamentals of package management in Arch & Arch-based systems. :smiley:

well i haven’t installed notifier for octopi, not sure why i got it, but after some system update it started to pop out in task bar

not all tools are needed so i’m disabling or removing if not being used. Also i use garuda gaming edition for gaming platform, so i wan’t that system to be as stable as possible due it’s rolling release nature garuda is very stable

fundamentals or package managements? you mean pacman commands ? i’m using them daily, do not have any issue with them

The notifier is an optional dependency, is how it was probably installed. :slight_smile:
