How do I remove (not disable) the plugin from chrome?

Hi,

I assume you're using the pipelight-multi package. The pipelight package
which is still available to stay compatible with previous versions, and
automatically reenables Silverlight on every update. The pipelight-multi
package on the other hand lets you manually select the desired plugins.
When this is the issue you have, you can just switch to pipelight-multi
with the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove pipelight
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight # optional, when you want to use
Silverlight system-wide

.

In case you're using pipelight-multi you normally you shouldn't get any
plugin related messages when you've disabled Silverlight this way (and it
was the only activated plugin). Please check if you've probably enabled
something else:

sudo pipelight-plugin --list-enabled # list of system-wide enabled plugins
pipelight-plugin --list-enabled # list of user plugins

You can disable everything by running:

sudo pipelight-plugin --disable-all && pipelight-plugin --disable-all

In case you've compiled yourself a previous version of pipelight and
installed it via "sudo make install", its possible that there still remains
a file called "libpipelight.so" in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/. This file can
either be deleted manually or via "sudo make uninstall" in the source tree
of the old pipelight version. You can check with the following command if
this is the case:

ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | grep pipelight # see below

.

In case you really want to uninstall pipelight completely you can use:

sudo apt-get remove pipelight pipelight-multi

Nevertheless it might be possible that some of the dependencies remain on
your system, but they should be removed with:

sudo apt-get autoremove
