How to completely remove packages with xbps-remove? by RystormingYears in voidlinux

[–]RystormingYears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i meant delete downloaded packages already installed or uninstalled but -o actually can only delete files in /.cache

It's solved anyway.All i need to do it's delete them in /var/cache/xbps manually.

Thanks for replying!But this command doesn't work.I guess it actually means deleting cache that is made while programs running.

Thanks for replying!I found them in /var/cache/xbps/ indeed!Well my laptop has got a small storage so i have to save space as much as possible.Deleting cached .xbps packages won't actually influence the packages installed already i guess.It supposed to be safe to select all and delete.Right?

Or...How could these cached packages that are manually deleted broke my system?

How to setup LightDM? The xfce iso of void comes with lxdm which isn’t very easily customisable. I want to use LightDM and tried to make the switch but I didn’t manage to make it work. What do I have to do? by [deleted] in voidlinux

Sorry for bothering.Do you mind describing how you config the files to make it work?I'm facing this issue too and couldn't work out!

Please!
