Removing an extension

users
#1

Hi.
I was wanting to print some labels on Avery stock with a generated barcode.
I downloaded an extension Barcode - 1.3.5.0 https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/barcode/1.3.5.0

but that balked on attempting to install. It doesn't show in the extension manager but if I attempt to reinstall I get an "already installed" message.

Does anyone know how do I uninstall when I can't see it in the extension manager.

In the end I fulfilled my need by bodging some macros to generate the barcode in code128 from user fields in writer but I would like to tidy up this failed install.

Hi Steve,

The unopkg command is your friend here.

Depending on whether you attempted the extension installation for all
users, or just for a specific user, you may need to start it with admin
rights, or as the superuser (OS dependent).

You will need to run it from a terminal.

Alternatively, you can forcibly remove extensions via a file manager of
your choice by deleting the corresponding extension folder in the
application's /resources/extensions folder or else in the user's profile
under

/LibreOffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache

and searching through the obscured name folders to find the one
corresponding to your extension.
