Thanks

ujust configure-waydroidTried
waydroid session stop
reset waydroid and then dont touch it
waydroid is not configured to autostart so that is something you must have configured
it starts also when you launch an application that is on waydroidERROR: WayDroid is not initialized, run "waydroid init"
did you ever reboot after resetting waydroid?
@HikariKnight Yes I did
is it a problem?
no but then i dont know because waydroid by default does not autostart
i dont even use waydroid myself
I've tried it just to see if I could get apps to work there like whatsapp call
That didn't really work so I'm trying to uninstall it
The nI thought to retart
at the moment it's a service running that i cna't kill
I can try to reinitialize and see if that does something, and remove it with the way you're familiar with
only thing i can guess then is
sudo systemctl disable --now waydroid-container.service
only service i could findOh okay that did something, but why does force stop not work on this service?
neither is pkill or kill
is it regarding ghost processes?
services can restart if killed, but stops if they fail at starting
@HikariKnight Okay progress, that worked
But I do want to uninstall it
reset waydroid
that is the closest you get to uninstalling it, keeps it deactivated
the only part remaining then is like 32kb of scripts or something
Keeps it installed though @HikariKnight
~/.local/share/applications
but again
these are
32kb total
if you dont want to look at them
hide them
use a menu editor to just hide/remove them and move on with your day
Yeah did it in pins, all I said is that it's like the shortcut is a link to a flatpak/rpm app no?
or is it a script
they link to a script you cant remove
everything totalling about 32kb
if you want to truly remove it then make a custom image.
the scripts are neccessary to be able to have a functioning waydroid should you want it, since they are part of the image, you cant remove them
all good thanks for the information! I asked all of this to understand how the shortcuts work in bazzite
