After removing pulseeffects, and before attempting to install cheese, did you update the package cache?

sudo apt-get update

**Clayman1000x** · Oct 28, 2017, 09:55 AM

I don't know, I did this the other day but didn't notice anything till I tried to install cheese today, but it won't install and Muon package manager won't do it either, gives me another error, even won't uninstall pulseefects, which still shows as installed but I cannot uninstall it.
I have subsequently did the update also.

From a konsole, what warning/error message(s) do you get when attempting to uninstall pulseeffects?

The error is telling you that the program isn’t found in the active repositories you are using. Where/how did you get/install pulseeffects?

**Clayman1000x** · Oct 28, 2017, 10:40 AM

It was a deb file, gdebi installed it, I think I uninstalled it wrong though.

**Clayman1000x** · Oct 28, 2017, 10:51 AM

sudo apt-get remove pulseeffects I think.

**Snowhog** · Oct 28, 2017, 10:53 AM

Then, to fix your current problem, downloand/install the .deb package again, but using dpkg instead.

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...n1/dpkg.1.html

Once it’s reinstalled, you can use dpkg to properly remove it.

I can't get it installed

This has to be installed first.
glib-compile-schemas

This is why going outside the repository is an experience to be enjoyed only by those who know, from experience, what they are doing. How do you know how much experience is necessary? When you can undo your experiments without asking for help.

IF you were using Btrfs and made a snapshot of @ and @home before you installed pulseeffects then you could rollback to the snapshot in about 3 minutes, and your system would be like it was before you installed pulseeffects..

**Clayman1000x** · Oct 28, 2017, 12:03 PM

I made my snapshot after this fiasco. I cannot find that file "glib-compile-schemas" anywhere,

I can't download anything due to pulseefects, https://askubuntu.com/questions/161739/why-does-launchpad-fail-to-find-glib-compile-schemas-while-building-for-ppa

**GreyGeek** · Oct 28, 2017, 12:25 PM

It's on mine, and, it is part of glib2
/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/glib-compile-schemas

Have you tried repeating this combo of commands?
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Repeat them both several times.

**Clayman1000x** · Oct 28, 2017, 12:33 PM

Over and over I keep getting the same thing, I may have to reinstall to fix this
