This is a screenshot of a random application that appeared in my gnome software application. I used the software installer to install OBS (I don’t usually use flatpak, I had to because OBS without flatpak is missing features i needed) and a few days later had an update, after the update, this appeared in the software section. Guessing its a glitch, but I’m worried its some type of malicious software and would like to know where to find its files to remove it/fix the glitch. I’m running Arch Linux, gnome DE, and only have OBS and a few plugins installed through flat hub.
so far Ive tried
-removing all flatpak apps.
-finding a .desktop file or bin folder with a placeholder name
-reinstalling gnome software
-I cant find any info online about anyone having a similar issue.
-running journalctl to find any jobs that i don’t recognize
I’m at a loss, more info/logs/screenshots can be provided if necessary.
Thank you in advanced for your help!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Yes, and it’s plugged in!
you removed all flatpaks, but did you also remove flatpak to also test?
That did not work, also tried to reinstall gnome-software and reboot after removing, It persists.
Thanks for trying, lmk if you have any other ideas
my guess is that gnome-sofware is reading a list of applications from somewhere and a placeholder/uninstalled app is being read into this list. but im looking everywhere, no luck.
Ill try that, great suggestion
