Groovy Gorilla Linux zika 5.8.0-48-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 19 14:25:20 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Last month I did some boot/grub/bios/UEFI settings, trying to get confused a bit more than I am, however soon after I found out a new 'lubuntu' directory was created in my /home. Can anybody relate this to something? I do not want to just rm it and not knowing why and how was getting there. There is no user 'lubuntu' created.

Thanks!

This is the RPM database. Did you install any RPMs recently?

Background: You can install RPM as a secondary package manager on Ubuntu, and then you can install RPM packages as well as the usual DEB packages.

Check with rpm -qa if (a) RPM is installed and (b) what RPMs you have installed.

  • Thanks! I realized that it was a rpmdb I had the RPM PM installed but I do not install any rpms last month. Why in /home? I check rpm -qa and nothing returned. Where else should I check? I found some lubuntu-grub-theme_20.10.3_all.deb (I installed) also converted rpm by alien: refind and avast4. Apr 13, 2021 at 23:25
