#Remove wd unlocker ubuntu software#
This is due to the software editing the /etc/hosts/ file, annoyingly they removed all of my existing hosts while doing this (so I now have to set up all of my host configuration again). With the package removed, the websites were still blocked. Synapsis was the only manager I was able to see this package under. (Note that the package / software wasn't showing up in the Ubuntu Software Centre, nor was it listed as a package under the expected name of sudo apt-get remove betblocker, the actual name for this package was bet-blocker, I had assumed betblocker as that was the name of the software on the software launcher). I then updated my packages and saw the package was removed. Using the Synapsis package manager, I was able to find the package and mark it for removal. I think I've fixed it doing the following: I downloaded the latest, so it could be different: $ dpkg-deb -f /tmp/bet-blocker_1.0.0_bĭepends: gconf2, gconf-service, libnotify4, libappindicator1, libxtst6, libnss3, libxss1Īs noted, you'll need to make adjustments to your /etc/hosts in addition to removing the package. deb), you can use dpkg-deb to inspect the package file, which contains data such as the name, and files that it installs. Double-check before you remove anything, and if you do, back everything up. Don't go removing random packages, but you may see something glaring. If you cannot find any packages, you can look through the list, without using grep, and see if you find any suspicious packages.
Once you find the name of the package, it can be removed with apt, or dpkg: In the meantime, you can investigate which packages you do have installed ( sudo apt list -installed or sudo dpkg -l). Instead of circumventing the software, have you considered if there is an option to make your Facebook or YouTube interactions less impeded? Maybe you can provide feedback by contacting betblocker and see if they can work on helping you, and others, in similar situations. Please remember that once the tool is activated you cannot remove the restrictions until your selected restriction length has expired.
