How can I uninstall the default Camera application in Freya by command.
I tried following commands, but none of them works, could you help me on this. thanks in advance
sudo apt-get purge snap
sudo apt-get purge snap-elementary
Best regards Yuhua
To uninstall the default camera application (snap) run the following in a terminal.
sudo apt-get remove snap-photobooth
Remember to mark as answer if it works
As ElementaryOS team gravitated towards pushing the default apps as containerized Flatpaks. The current camera app -and many others- can be removed through the flatpak client itself. The command to go is
sudo flatpak uninstall io.elementary.camera
