Remove all traces of app so it can be a fresh install thru Pkg Manager

Did you uninstall chromium, or chromium-browser? The former is a 2D scrolling shooter game.

the terminal commands would be

sudo apt-get --purge remove chromium-browser

and then

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

can you give the output of:

dpkg -l grep -i chro

Thanks

Did G mail make major changes today???
Thank you very much for the assist
Chris.

I removed both chromium (side scroller) and chromium browser.
But I am only concerned with chromium browser.
Thank you very much
Chris.

Sorry. Try:

dpkg -l | grep -i chro

Thanks

I forgot to mention after I removed Chromium browser the first time before my help request my laptop would not boot.
It hung during the Ubuntu logo with banner dots.
no esc or down arrow option to repair, I had to power off.
After several unsuccessful attempts to boot into repair I booted with Mint live DVD in an effort to save files.
I will never encrypt my home folder again, scary.
Any way when I tried one last time to boot it worked so I backed up my files and here I am.

I hope this helps someone else.
Thanks again

Chris.

You can then delete

~/.config/chromium

If you want to remove the old chromium config

I personally recommend you use the daily PPA for Chromium, it has less of Google's tracking stuff (if that is important to you (I don't mind personally)) as well as being bleeding edge, it also has the future features which won't be in Chrome or months :)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

"You can then delete"

"~/.config/chromium"

I need to make command above work

I have minimal command experience.

I need the proper command structure to delete ~/.config/chromium

G mail is missing links.

Thanks again
Chris.
