Context Menu Ubuntu 11.04 - Desktop Right Click
Last modified: 2011-05-08 09:35:25 UTC
In 10.04 the Nautilus-Action items would appear when executing a right click on the desktop. As of 11.04 update Beta 1 the context menu only appears inside a Nautilus file browser window. And it is a menu node - not the expanded items. 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Created attachment 187404 [details] Screenshow of a submenu opened on the desktop The joined screen has been taken in released Ubuntu 11.04, with the latest Nautilus-Actions 3.1.2. As you can see, when clicking on the desktop, the Nautilus-Actions actions normally appear in the submenu, and Nautilus-Actions submenu is normally displayed. Please update to latest versions. If your behavior persists, please join your actions. Regards Pierre
Ok - great news - I have tried to get 3.1.2 installed in 11.04 but have failed with an error with libc6. I also tried compiling from source but ran into dependency issues, How did you get it installed?
What sort of issues do you have encoutered ? Nautilus-Actions 3.1.2 compiles rather easily even under Ubuntu 11.04, as long as the required dependancies have been installed. In my fresh Ubuntu 11 (virtual) box, after the first update, I only have had to add: intltool, libgtk2.0-dev, libunique-dev, libdbus-glib-1-dev, libgconf2-dev, libgtop2-dev, libxml2-dev, uuid-dev, libnautilus-extension-dev.
Ok I have those dependencies installed - I ran ./configure that completed as follows: - I cannot find a make file... Not sure what to execute next to start the actual compile...

Ok got that sorted ./configure make make install The config about now says 3.1.2 I'll reboot and see if I can get the menus to appear
Ok good news - all good - sorry for the newbie stupid question - I now have Nautilus-Actions on the Context Menu Thanks very much
