Where is the File Manager on Budgie?

elfprince

Hello!
I can't see the icon of the Budgie File Manager, nor can I find it among the menu items. Am I missing something? What is the application called? There is nothing under Files, or Dolphin or Nautilus...
Thanks!

What if you type Files in the budgie menu ?

If you can't find it, just try to reinstall it sudo eopkg it --reinstall nautilus

elfprince

kyrios Success! After reinstalling, Files is back. Don't know how and when it vanished on me.... Thanks! :-)
Case CLOSED.

elfprince If you want to find out when check eopkg history

elfprince this happened to me once. could never explain it. but it never occurred again.

if this kind of thing happens i do the old eopkg check and it always seems to be OK like a false positive--sometimes the more I learn the more in the dark I am🙂

Justin Aha! Bingo! $ eopkg history | grep nautilus * nautilus 3.26.4-54-1-x86_64 is installed. * nautilus-extension is upgraded from 3.26.4-53-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-54-1-x86_64. * nautilus 3.26.4-53-1-x86_64 is removed. * nautilus-extension is upgraded from 3.26.4-52-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-53-1-x86_64. * nautilus is upgraded from 3.26.4-52-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-53-1-x86_64. * nautilus-extension is upgraded from 3.26.4-51-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-52-1-x86_64. * nautilus is upgraded from 3.26.4-51-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-52-1-x86_64. * nautilus-extension is upgraded from 3.24.2-39-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-51-1-x86_64 with delta. * nautilus is upgraded from 3.24.2-39-1-x86_64 to 3.26.4-51-1-x86_64 with delta. * nautilus-extension 3.24.2-39-1-x86_64 is installed. * nautilus 3.24.2-39-1-x86_64 is installed. Thanks for the tip! :-)

The eopkg history piped to the grep hides the interesting bits.
If you want to try to understand what happened, you need the detail of the transaction in which it was removed. It could be for example a dependency of something you uninstalled.

Quite possible kyrios . I went on a cleaning spree several months ago. :-)

If I had nickel for every FUBAR post I posted here that started with me 'innocently' ripping stuff out or cleaning...millionaire🙂

..I think we got conditioned with MS add/remove programs where these programs were separate entities with no dependencies and you could wrench them out safely...more or less...and I repeat this action in Linux due to my Pavlovian behavior from MS years ago...

does such a centralized, risk-free, add/remove program GUI exist in Linux I wonder? and exist outside a package manager or terminal?

something about solus I ALWAYS wanted to know, but too lazy to ask is:
is there a command that specifically tells me what programs will get FUBAR'd by my cleaning or uinstalling? and what I should do about it?

For example a script that goes. "brent when you uninstall that recipe app, it's going to cripple Meteo and possibly injure a Libre Office plugin. It will also decimate gnome-screenshot. brent, here's what you have to do to get rid of the recipe app and not mess anything up."

Can I have that program?😉

--sorry to 'jack this elfprince , this thread still feels unfinished...

elfprince

No problem brent ! 😁 I think there is a command which lists all programs that Program A depends on, and programs that depend on program A. Maybe in eopkg options?

elfprince You want eopkg info [package]
