Moving from Shield-is Linux good for YTTV TVE?

[Rice]

If you don’t want to start over just uninstall chromium and install chrome.
To uninstall the chromium-browser and xvfb packages on Ubuntu, use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-browser xvfb

Then run:

sudo apt-get autoremove

Then run:

sudo apt-get clean

Then you need to install chrome by running these commands:

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Then:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Then:

sudo apt-get update

Then:

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

You can then find the app in the app library click on it and make it default.

Run this command every month or so to update and install packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

@Rice

sudo apt-get remove --purge chromium-browser xvfb

OK, I followed this and it is still working. But Chromium is still there. When I ran your first line it gives a message that Package 'chromium-browser' is not installed so not removed. AND package xvfb is not installed,...
I still can launch chromium from the desktop. How do I tell what Channels is using? Does it matter that chromium is still there? I would prefer not to start over.

[soccerdad]

Hmm. Looking at version numbers, it looks like Channels is still using Chromium so I need to get rid of it.

[Rice]

I assumed you followed the instructions on how to install chromium from the channels dvr for Linux page. How did you install chromium?

[soccerdad]

I am fairly certain that is what I did. I don't know how to do it any other way.

[Rice]

Try:

sudo apt remove --purge chromium-browser

sudo apt autoremove --purge

If that doesn’t work try going into the software center and searching for chromium, click on it and the click remove.

If you used snap try

sudo snap remove chromium

[soccerdad]

I removed it from the software center. I then rebooted. I then tried running your commands again, and it says that chromium is not installed. BUT- if I go into Channels and run the troubleshooting, the TVE shows that the version number for Chrome is different than the Chrome version that is on the server. It still shows the Chromium version. I guess since it is still working, I will leave it. I may have to rebuild the whole thing.
