Quick Nautilus Question

brent

can't seem to get a straight answer about this (in my 10/14 update thread).

Is the Name- Type-Modified font tiny forever? Is this just that way it's going to be? Any way to fix?
thank you

There is definitely something wrong with your Nautilus 🙂
I guess it's a theme issue. I have Solus Budgie fresh installation, fully updated. The text should be bigger, also there should be a padding between items in the left panel. And after update theme is white, but you can change it (as workaround) via Gradience flatpak app.

Check broken packages, disable any modifications, apply default settings for Nautilus, and default theme/icons...

Solarmass I guess it's a theme issue.

no, have mixed and matched all day, nothing has changed

Solarmass also there should be a padding between items in the left panel.

how do I get that back? why did the update disappear it?

Solarmass And after update theme is white, but you can change it (as workaround) via Gradience flatpak app.

no. this happened to everyone but me. my default of yaru dark never changed.

Solarmass Check broken packages

Checking integrity of gdk-pixbuf                                     Broken
Corrupted file: /usr/lib64/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

will fix that now.
even did eopkg rdb. reboot. no changes.

Solarmass apply default settings for Nautilus

I don't know what you mean by this. Even the context menu under 'preferences' is all brand new to me today. Remove/reinstall nautilus? there's an idea.

Solarmass and default theme/icons..

I don't know what this means either. I tried plata (I tried every theme) with all widget combos and I have no kde stuff on my budgie.

am doing the old "sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall" then rm/it nautlius then reboot then report back. thanks for the ideas, Solarmass

brent

no nothing changed after fixing gtk-pixbuf or rm/it nautilus..
this sucks

This unsolved mystery is thrilling
Little things like this drive me insane because they must have some small root cause somewhere it's just not obvious. But that's the joy of troubleshooting once that eureka moment hits and you find it..you get to sleep at night.. I've been there lol
At this point personally i probably would have just started fresh saved my data and did a reinstall out of impulse so i could narrow down where it came from. But i know not everyone has the time or energy for all that

it's very thrilling, I agree. I'm not the only one either. a handful of us are restless til a seemingly simple problem is solved. call it amateur pride🙂.
I wish I could say its twice as thrilling when its your mystery, but it's not, it's only half as thrilling since the other half is frustration.

a new install has occurred to me but I am one of those people who loathe kneejerk reactions.
I like Nautilus. I want it back. Not this mickey mouse version.
I have 2 more ideas:
1) roll back eopkg history to when I was happy, which was yesterday, or
2) you know how you clear cookies/tmp/cache to clear a browser? what purges nautilus or resets it? I looked at every file called nautilus. remove/uninstall does nothing because it calls up some file that retains settings.

ps----

[deleted] started fresh saved my data and did a reinstall out of impulse so i could narrow down where it came from

you mean budgie or nautilus?

Solarmass

brent what purges nautilus or resets it?

try to remove .config/nautilus
How Nautilus looks like when Plata and Materia theme applied? Share some screenshots 🙂

SOLUSfiddler

Solarmass
Tried to remove .config/nautilus but am not allowed: "It's a folder."
Tested TROMjaro the other day because they claim to actually deal with these kind of inconsistencies in themeing or whatever messed up nautilus here.
Not as good as it claims to be, but mind you, I tested the beta version of the OS (as far as I remember).
Very frustrating, Brent, yes!

brent

Solarmass no changes
materia

plata--

will dump config.
so open config/nautilus and throw out contents? or trash whole folder?
thanks

EbonJaeger

It should look like Adwaita, because of libadwaita, and those screenshots... don't. @brent have you at some point tried to modify the libadwaita theming? What do other libadwaita applications such as Calculator or Calendar look like?

brent

EbonJaeger never tinkered with Adwaita anything at any time. all icon/widget themes installed are from our stable repo.

these look ok but I don't have your eye.
also---is indexer mangled? I get spinning disk ball for a second or two when launching. More Maddening: retains NO settings at all.
install/reinstall twice changed nothing. thank you for getting back

brent

SOLUSfiddler thank you good fiddler, I have a super duper sudo -rf command for that folder🙂

SOLUSfiddler Tried to remove .config/nautilus but am not allowed: "It's a folder."

Did you remember to use rm -r to make the deletion recursive?

Solarmass

brent so open config/nautilus and throw out contents? or trash whole folder?

not sure, just an idea
create a backup (just in case) maybe

brent

this is where my toggle buttons usually stay:

Solarmass

brent this is where my toggle buttons usually stay:

There is a problem with that theme, see how tiny those toggles are.

Solarmass

another idea, remove everything in:

~/.config/gtk-4.0/ and maybe in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/

! create a backup (just in case)

brent

Solarmass that theme has only been installed 10 minutes🙂
but now that you mention is, yes

brent

Solarmass will try all that config stuff after dinner and report back. thanks for the ideas

SOLUSfiddler

I've reverted my update history by sudo eopkg history -t [# I wanted to revert to] but although the atrocious theme in nautilus has gone the calculator and calendar still look changed ("Mickey Mouse" theme, as Brent would call it).
Cannot deal with it now and hope that someone of our fantastic Solus team will find a solution.

brent

SOLUSfiddler think staudey said they (team) had to bite the bullet and update regarding the nautilus/libwaita stuff but as I remember he also said the kinks would all be worked out eventually.
thanks for also biting the bullet: rollback. interesting you saved nautilus but calendar and calculator went mickey mouse...
wonder if this whole thing is about gnome control center at the end of the day? random thought that just floated into my head

Solarmass

SOLUSfiddler "Mickey Mouse" theme

What theme it is?

Anyhoo, Gradience app could be a workaround, here is a video about it 🙂

SOLUSfiddler

And if anyone knows of a theme that wasn't changed by the recent update please let us know!
It does look very Gnome-like and I hate the Tele Tubby design of Gnome!

SOLUSfiddler Fluent is pretty good imo: https://github.com/vinceliuice/Fluent-gtk-theme

Uhh dont want butt in but I havent updated was going around and around with theme issues on this lenovo
(Eyes cant take that blasting dark or blasting light themes)
spent good part of last nite messing with it and I am using marwaita osx now its from gnome look .org
its a greyish theme but seems more consistant across the board.
And not sure how it would act with the latest update you have to download it unzip it and copy folder to your themes
dir as admin.
(Just info or ignore it..lol)
