Re: a gnome invasion :O
i don't have xfce installed at the moment, but you can easily check if it's installed i believe it's safe to uninstall it (you have a file manager already )
Code: Select all
apt policy nautilus
Re: a gnome invasion :O
thanks! zerozero
i uninstalled logged out and back in and back to xfce desktop. that was weird simply using the gnome screenshot would take over the system like that

i don't know much xfce (only used it for some months last year) but i believe that being gnome-screenshot a gnome app it woke up nautilus
Re: a gnome invasion :O
install scrot. Much better with no desktop depends.
Description-en: command line screen capture utility
scrot (SCReen shOT) is a simple commandline screen capture
utility that uses imlib2 to grab and save images. Multiple
image formats are supported through imlib2's dynamic saver
modules.

Re: a gnome invasion :O
There are more than one way it will somehow come up
by the way, xfce should already have its own screenshooter.
for mine, I would hit the "prt scrn/sysRq' button and a popup will appear. Give it a try to see if yours had it installed. it is called xfce4-screenshooter.
$ apt-cache policy xfce4-screenshooter
xfce4-screenshooter:
Installed: 1.8.0-2
Candidate: 1.8.0-2
Version table:
*** 1.8.0-2 0
1. synaptic, type nautilus in search and see it graphically.
2. on terminal , type apt-cache policy nautilus and see what it says

find out yourself by:does nautilus come installed in the xfce version of mint?

Re: a gnome invasion :O
yeah i forgot xfce had its own screen shot. i was more curious if nautilus comes with all the xfce installs? i don't remember installing it and though it would be odd to be included on xfce.

No you did not install it.CapitalG wrote: i was more curious if nautilus comes with all the xfce installs? i don't remember installing it and though it would be odd to be included on xfce.
It comes from the release iso.
