Not exactly, I meant the web page I was reading when trying to get this to work.

Yes. You and everybody else said that was the way to do it. :)

Thank you, this seemed to work. I got the LC uninstaller dialog and it did its thing.

I'm just glad you know what to do. I do wish LC would give some attention to the
Chromebook/Linux/Android universe. That's where the education market is. I didn't expect LC to
run perfectly on Chromebook Linux, but I also didn't think it would crash so spectacularly.
Teaching LC to students on Chromebooks is definitely right out. Which is a shame because there
are so many of them now.
