No file encryption with Seahorse?

Postby redman on Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:00 am

When I install the "seahorse" and the "seahorse-nautilus" packages under Mint 13, I can not encrypt files from the desktop (no right-click "encrypt" option).
After searching on Google I found several Ubuntu related items, but nothing specific for Mint 13. The only bit of info I found was this article on this forum.

Any suggestions or info how to get this working under Mint 13?

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

As you have already done the search, is it fixable in ubuntu?

If it has use the same procedure use that. If not the problems is ongoing due to the files being no longer available.

A good solution is to rather install and use "nemo" and "nemo-seahorse" instead of nautilus. You will have encrypt/decrypt options back in your right-click menu.
