Rabbit VCS on Ubuntu 18.04 - not showing menu in Nautilus

  • 772

I'm having problems using Rabbit VCS integration with Nautilus under Ubuntu 18.04. Installation from the Bionic Beaver PPA does not seem to work at all while using the procedure presented on their web page, as there is not a candidate for 18.04.

Any hints on how to make it running?

Thanks in advance.

    You can make RabitVCS working again on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS by copying its python extension to special directory inside your home folder:

    sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions

cp /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/RabbitVCS.py \
~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions

    Then restart Nautilus (Files) with

    nautilus -q

    and enjoy:

    I hope it is fully-functional.

    Notes:
    1. if you need only Mercurial you can use tortoisehg-nautilus package.
    2. if you see two RabbitVCS menu sections then remove python extension from home folder with rm ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/RabbitVCS.py.
