I am using 20.04, and I keep getting updates for “extension for nautilus to do administrative operations”. You cannot put a check mark against it, and it never updates.
Any ideas?
Suggest drop to a terminal and run
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
What is the output that you see when the above is run?
The following packages have been kept back:
nautilus-admin
What is the output you see when you try to install that package?
sudo apt install nautilus-adminThe following additional packages will be installed:
python3-nautilus
The following packages will be REMOVED:
folder-color python-nautilus
The following NEW packages will be installed:
python3-nautilus
The following packages will be upgraded:
nautilus-admin
1 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 27.2 kB of archives.
After this operation, 21.5 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Not sure why folder-color is depending on such an old version of that python module.
I would suggest you contact the folder-color maintainer.
It’s an either or situation … you can’t have both nautilus-admin and folder-color at the same time until folder-color upgrades to the newer python module.
Looks to me that it is the folder-color that is being removed. Am i wrong?
That’s what I said. If you install nautilus-admin, folder-color will be removed
So, is it safe to upgrade this or not? I am asking you because you have more knowledge about these things than I do.
folder-color is a package used to add emblems and set different colours on nautilus displayed folders.
If you have never used this capability then its safe to uninstall it.
I fixed it. The original writer updated folder-color to work with 20.04. It is found here, in case anyone else runs into this trouble
Everything is working as expected now
Nautilus, in Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 ?
To whom it may concern, the folder-color-nemo 0.0.88 available in Costales’ ppa works like a charm with Nemo 4.4.2 as provided in UB 20.04.
And ok too with multi colored Yaru icons set.
