Failing to remove old gnome-authenticator
#3
Looking in /usr/share/applications for a .desktop file did not succeed. In fact I could not find a reference to either gnome-authenticator in there.
While dealing with a different issue I came across the 'list of application' in settings, which showed the duplicate authenticators also and suggested 'open in software'. So I did that and found myself at another list of applications. I selected 'Installed' and the two gnome authenticators showed there with little [x] buttons. They were basically indistinguishable other than by the size of the application, so I picked the smaller one size wise and tapped the [x]. It asked me to confirm and now the extra gnome-authenticator is gone from the desktop.
I also guessed right and the flatpak one is the one that remains.
