Hi @Adib_Aulia_Rahmansya Yeah you got yourself in a bad position here... I would try to install the correct package... Again Then whether it installs correctly or not. I would then try to uninstall it using the correct command... Let us know if that works or not. I might have a couple other hack…

I have been do that, install and uninstall again and got frustated because nothing works with .tar.gz installation. So i decided to use the deb package installation to make it work but i know i can't easily upgrade version when available via fleet. What are hack suggestions you want to suggest?

Okey, i will do it but for now, i successfully install the deb version and use it smoothly. I should remove it first via apt then would it have any issue like this again?

Yes first uninstall the deb package using the appropriate apt command if you want to clean up the other. To be clear I am not sure my steps will work because I have never had a system in the same state as yours... But its worth a try... I have used similar to clean up other errors I have made.

@Adib_Aulia_Rahmansya YAY!! Nicely done... glad we could help. You are not the first nor the last to get an installation mucked up... we have all done it... glad we could undo it!
