Switching from Budgie Desktop View to Nemo Desktop

brent

Reading this thread has been a big relief. I am absolutely enjoying the Solus Mate life but will be back when the new budgie ISO comes.

Thanks for the long awaited option! 😁

Solarmass It is funny how appimages will prompt for a root password but the Ventoy software will not when run on Nemo. Changing Nemo to root is very easy so all I have to worry about is not closing out of root when I have finished with Ventoy.

I don't remember how I run it last time on Nautilus, probably with root too. I just checked it asks for root in popup in Nautilus. You can bug-report it on Ventoy github..

the appimage peeps reccomend [per their official website] you change the permissions right after you download an appimage so it won't prompt you for sudo ever again.

BuzzPCSOS but the Ventoy software will not when run on Nemo.

I read this a few times and still don't know what you mean. The software doesn't' 'run' per se, it's a storage formatting program (maybe you are right) that you can either mount, open, and see your .isos. Or not? You are saying you need permission just to get Nemo to recognize Ventoy usb? Or to open it? And if that's true I wonder if its another permissions problem.

BuzzPCSOS How exactly do you run ventoy?
I tried it this way and it is working fine.

Looks like opening Nemo as root to run Ventoy it is how is recommended in linux mint forums.

algent I have an older Ventoy version and it has Ventoy2Disk.ini owned by root for some reason..
I will try to download the latest version, let's see..

UPD: all unpacked files owned by user now, double click on VentoyGUI.x86_64 - nothing happens, running from the terminal ./VentoyGUI.x86_64 opens Authenticate dialog.

double click on VentoyGUI.x86_64 in Nautilus opens Authenticate dialog.

@algent are you root user perhaps?

brent

Solarmass but you would have to chmod it just to flash a usb, right? Look forward to what you find out. I got rid of my ventoy binary.

Solarmass

Nemo doesn't have Extract option in context menu 🙁

Solarmass

brent I guess you have to run it with sudo, I wonder how @algent run it without sudo 🤔
And also why there is no Authenticate dialog in Nemo.

algent

Solarmass
Like this, I just run it.

Solarmass

algent Like this, I just run it.

Yup! Same here! So you have this Authenticate dialog too!

algent

Solarmass Yes, what is the problem with it? I think it is nomal. It is behaving same as the ventoy app that I have installed system wide.

Solarmass

algent the problem is that when you launch it from Nemo - nothing happens..
And other usability problem, there is no "Extract" in the Nemo's context menu.

algent

Solarmass there is no "Extract" in the Nemo's context menu

For this install nemo-fileroller

algent

Solarmass Ah, now I get it. Just tried in nautilus and it launches fine. Sorry for misunderstanding.

brent

algent For this install nemo-fileroller

that will build 'extract' into the right-click context menu? asking for a friend

algent Looks like opening Nemo as root to run Ventoy it is how is recommended in linux mint forums.

that is ultimately a 10X smaller hiccup then the stuff in nautilus

algent

Looks like it is an upstream issue.
"run executable file when it has executable attribute"

hmm..
why they have this setting then? 🤔

algent

Solarmass why they have this setting then?

That is for text files and VentoyGUI.x86_64 is a binary file.

algent

Yes. Adds "Extract Here" near end.

Solarmass

yup!

Should be built-in into Nemo imo...
