Can't completely remove distro Regolith; alternative session is still available

pk flag

I tried Regolith on my VM to play with i3. I liked this distro very much and wanted to install it on my main machine. I'm trying to remove it on my VM. I followed this official uninstallation guide:

Log out of the Regolith session and into the default Ubuntu session.

$ sudo apt purge regolith-desktop && sudo apt autoremove

Now remove the PPA:

$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:regolith-linux/release

You can now safely delete the directory ~/.config/regolith.

But after logging out, I could still change session to Regolith and log in to it successfully. It's fully functional. How do I completely remove Regolith?

It turns out that I had installed the standalone i3. My guess is that Regolith somehow "attached" itself to the standalone i3, and that's why the official uninstallation process didn't work.

  1. Follow the official uninstallation process:
Log out of the Regolith session and into the default Ubuntu session.


$ sudo apt purge regolith-desktop && sudo apt autoremove
  1. Check any remaining left of Regolith:
apt list --installed | grep regolith

You should not see any remaining packages. If you see any, remove them with sudo apt remove package-name

  1. Remove previously installed i3.
apt list --installed | grep i3

Again, remove them with sudo apt remove package-name

Log out and you should not see Regolith session available.

Using `ppa-purge ppa:regolith-linux/release` will be better.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
