Switching from Budgie Desktop View to Nemo Desktop

Solarmass

Nemo doesn't have Extract option in context menu 🙁

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

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.

Yes. Adds "Extract Here" near end.

Solarmass

yup!

Should be built-in into Nemo imo...

compared to Nautilus, this is small potatoes and would not have driven me to Solus Mate! I'm getting an education on how Nemo works and its little quirks. I liked it in Ubuntu Budgie before I got rid of it. Thank you Solarmass for highlighting the difference in file managers.

Solarmass

algent Oh! Anyway, I think Nautilus does it more userfriendly

I very much appreciate this how-to. I'm not sure what brand of meth the Gnome dev team prefers but they've been regularly breaking UI since they started working on Gnome 3 and it hasn't gotten much better since then.

Thanks for helping me get my Solus environment working again - the lack of drag-and-drop support and weird copy/paste issues was really starting to grate on my nerves.

I tried this but now I cant login anymore. Then I tried to install budgie via terminal again but there is the issue "failed to fetch file". Anyone any idea without reinstall the hole system?
