[deleted] (I didn't specify, I use Budgie) I just don't like the idea of pulling in another DE's assets just for one thing. I'm familiar with this from Arch, installing budgie-desktop also gives you a GNOME session..I prefer to keep things vanilla..so I guess I'm just gonna ride out the Nautilus bugs

      odat4 mate-desktop is a library that is needed for Caja to function. It's not pulled in just for fun.

        @Staudey you don't get enough thanks for staying on top of this, so thank you. I've not seen your comprehensive edited update lately.
        For me
        #2 still a miserable experience but I'm in all the recommended themes. Is simply uninstalling/installing Nautilus an option here, or irrelevant towards a font fix?
        #12 and #13 fixed for me, thanks
        #17 not fixed for me. drop a file and poof you're in the new folder

        I have a #21 that's pretty common now: launch nautilus but no gui/rendering/window. the dot is above it in icon bar so it's alive, and budgie seems to think there's a window there since you can put it in front of opens apps and behind open apps but it can't be seen. No frame no outline no file manager. it's active in system monitor so I know it's running.

        All your advice re: themes has been followed by me (materia/korla).

          brent #17 not fixed for me. drop a file and poof you're in the new folder
          I have a #21 that's pretty common now

          The next sync will contain Nautilus 43.1 which contains a huge number of fixes. Personally I haven't seen #17 again since the middle of November, when I added the patch to fix it, but hopefully something else in the new version gets it in order for you too (as well as #21, which could be caused by a number of things that have been fixed in the meantime). I'll keep an eye on the Nautilus repository of course to see if any relevant patches are mentioned.

          odat4 As @[deleted] mentioned that package is not the whole MATE desktop or anything like that, but simply one of the basic (or THE basic) MATE libraries. Caja is a MATE project after all.
          It's not very big either:
          Installed Size: 3.60 MB, Package Size: 626.00 KB (could possibly be split up and stripped down, but I don't think it's worth the effort atm)

              I did a copy and paste to a usb drive and I had to close 4 nautilus windows afterwards.
              only started with one window open. 2nd time it happened

                Axios Can you explain in more detail what exactly you're doing, and what happens? Nautilus opens three extra windows of the destination location?

                    Staudey Had file in my downloads folder selected it right click to copy.
                    Then over to my usb drive I had plugged in and went paste copied just fine no problems
                    But went to close filemanager window had to close extra windows never really noticed them until went to
                    close 3 or 4 dont remb exact Doesnt do it all the time will pay more attention on the location.
                    (Ahhh I can see where you coming from on the window)

                      Still got #17. And still got the disappearing act but now it mirrors the existing window when it launches:

                      front window is ungoogled chrome.
                      rear window is nautilus. This when I right-click the icon upper left and close Nautilus that way.
                      I use Caja when this happens and it doesn't happen every time I launch Nautilus, just every few times.

                      My Plasma DE was working okay, but after this latest update, the OS hangs after entering the Password on bootup screen. Is this issue related to the Kernel thingy?

                        Staudey I did a bios update all of apparent issues seem to have went away If you want delete my last 2 posts and your reply because I believe its a non issue now.

                        The only issue I seem to have is the previous one I mentioned about system monitor freezing.
                        Sorry for the confusion didnt know it would turn out this way.
                        (Thanks for your hard work and all)

                          catfishsushi Since this is not relevant to GNOME, Budgie or GTK I'd ask you to create a separate thread for your issue (or alternatively to report it on dev.getsol.us with some details about your system). When you say "Password on bootup screen" do you mean your drive is encrypted, and it hangs after putting in the decryption password, or do you mean the login screen? (anyway, just put that info in your thread)
                          Thanks!

                              Staudey I followed the help Center instructions and edited the boot up so I saw the checklist going up the screen. At one point it stopped, it read something like( i don't remember all of it) tsc file size error, tsc can't be read, tsc calculation error, (bios is probabbly broken). I encrypt the installation when installing. Fixed by re-installing OS, functions well. TY for looking at this. 🙂

                                To help alleviate the continuing issues with Nautilus, Nemo has been included as an alternative file manager, with it likely becoming the default file manager for the Solus Budgie experience. It is in the Unstable repository now, and in the Stable repository after the next sync.

                                I was kinda hoping to have it included in time for Christmas, but I didn't get everything done in time. New Years is still pretty good, though! 😛

                                  🤯 shocked!

                                  what do I tell Mate? help me find the words...
                                  asking professionally: was Thunar ever in the running?

                                  My Nautilus got worse every update and was the only (main basically) reason I had to leave the superior experience that is Budgie.
                                  @EbonJaeger thanks for working your a** off on this one and @Staudey you too
                                  probably be back to the flagship edition when all kinks ironed out: edit

                                      brent If I remember correctly Thunar is quite reliant on XFCE stack, so I think it's unlikely

                                          brent [deleted] Correct, Thunar would require including 6 parts of the XFCE stack. Nemo only requires 2 from Cinnamon, plus translations. Nemo also provides a desktop icons implementation that is usable with Budgie. I don't believe that is the case with Thunar.

                                          I wanted to go with Nemo over reusing Caja because I think Nemo looks better; it is closer to what I want my file manager to look like. Linux Mint/Cinnamon also provides a curated set of Nemo extensions (which have been packaged for Solus and can be optionally installed), giving a wider set of uses for everybody.

                                                EbonJaeger Nemo also provides a desktop icons implementation that is usable with Budgie.

                                                That is lovely; brilliant. Trash can in the upper right and only 2-3 important things visible has been the best thing for my desktop psyche. so happy to get it back in Budgie

                                                    brent it wont be enabled right out of the box; there are a couple steps you'll have to do if you want to use Nemo's desktop implementation. It's not difficult, just need to document it somewhere.
