How do I install Nautilus-Elementary?

  • 772

I've added the am-monkeyd PPA and upgraded my system. Yet, there's no sign of elementary in my fresh Maverick RC install. Have I done anything wrong?

The PPA upgrades the default nautilus package and there is no separate "nautilus-elementary" package as of now.

Now, there are three versions listed in the package properties:

1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1-ppa1 (maverick); 
1:2.32.0-0ubuntu5~ppa5 (maverick); 
1:2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick);

Anything you can make out from this?

    From examining the ppa itself 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu5~ppa140 looks to be the right version.

    Did you try apt-cache policy nautilus to see if the ppa is correctly listed in package sources ?

  2. Adding the PPA only lists the source as a place to get packages

    $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus-elementary

    is what you need to actually install the package nautilus-elementary.

    While I can't say much about the author's choice in naming a package fork, it appears as if his intention is for you to add his PPA and upgrade.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    I'm guessing that this choice by "ammonkey" will lead to upgrade wars with the standard Ubuntu nautilus package at some point.
