How to remove Prusa Slic3r 2.2.3 . . Does nor work right

Asked by Lynne Stevens

The directory is not there and the Ubuntu software does not show it . . Slic3r 2.2.3 makes REAL BAD G-Code . . and makes Repetier-Host crash and will not make a part . . The Heated Bed drops off the Screen and get error in some kind of code says Error in starting . . halting
Tried to use Synaptic Package manager to install 1.3.9 .x and still comes up with the 2.2.3 version . . Why ?

How did you install it?

For diagnostic purposes, what is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg -l | grep prusa
apt-cache policy '*prusa*'
snap list
snap search prusa

The output shows

slic3r-prusa 1.39.1+dfsg-3 installed from the Ubuntu repositories

prusa-slicer 2.3.0-snap1 installed in snap form from snapcraft.io

I do not see any " 2.2.3 version". Such version could only come from an additional third version which was manually installed.

Which one do you want to keep and which one do you want to remove?

the 1.3.9 version . . It was what I had before it suddenly jumped to the
2.3 version over night . .
Must not have been watching the UpDate being installed this last time !

There hasn't been any update on the Ubuntu-provided version and I do not see any trigger that could have caused an automatic installation of the snap version - except a manual request for installation of the snap package which according to https://snapcraft.io/prusa-slicer has been made available on 13 Jan 2021.

If theer is something wrong with that version, you should consider reporting that issue, probably at https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues

In any case, I assume that the command

sudo snap remove prusa-slicer

will uninstall the snap version and cause the Ubuntu version to be used.

*Seems the 3D printer controller Board had a loose wire and it burnt a
big spot on the board . . Only found it after Wondering why moving X Y &
Z axis works and the Extruder could heat but not the bed . . But will
remove the 2.3 version that got installed over the 1.3.9 ( Makes better
parts ) *
