Cannot remove openvpn

Cannot remove openvpn


I want to remove openvpn from Zorin OS 12.4, but it is not listed in my Software installed list. Yet openvpn starts automatically every time I boot.

If I try the "purge" command in Terminal, I get this:

keith@keith-Vostro-3700:~$ sudo apt-get purge openvpn
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package openvpn

If openvpn is not installed, how it is starting automatically?

It is not listed in Startup Applications.

Hi

you use commands as explained below?

Code:

I would check under Terminal with command to list all programs (Ctrl+Alt+t)

Code:

dpkg --list

looks that an init script is still on your pc. check if you do not have something under /etc/openvpn under .config files and remame them.
I would also clear the cache of your browser

Oh yes you have a program on Zorin called 'startup application preferences'. check it


please advise outcome
