XFCE edition lacks of gThumb

Post by Yanpas »

When installing Linux Mint - ubiquity slides shows you that gThumb is preinstalled, but there is no gthumb out of the box!

Hello, Yanpas.

I cannot tell for Linux Mint 17.3, but I checked that both my Linux Mint 17.1 xfce and my Linux Mint 17.2 xfce have got gthumb installed.
Did you check in the Linux Mint Menu => sub-menu "Graphics"?
Did you try the commandline

Code: Select all

which gthumb
Should return "/usr/bin/gthumb". It does so here.
You might also check using the commandline

Code: Select all

dpkg --list gthumb
Will display the installed gthumb package name and version.

Cheers,
Karl

P.S.
If I find the time I will go through the dpkg.log files in /var/log to find out whether gthumb has been added manually after the initial Linux Mint installation ...
  1. Here on Mint 17.1 gthumb has definitely been installed during the initial setup. - Hm, might have been brought along by Cinnamon, because this Mint 17.1 started as Mint 17.1 Cinnamon. xfce was added later.
  2. Mint 17.2: to be checked and reported here ...

Reason: dpkg command corrected to be "dpkg --list gthumb", reason see Flemur's post below.

Yep...I can confirm that karichen is correct. My XFCE edition has gThumb installed by default.

I think you meant:

Code: Select all

dpkg --list gthumb
OP: If you really don't have it (IIRC, it was part of my Xfce 17.3 install...but I always remove it), just install it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gthumb
Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] if/when it is solved!
Your data and OS are backed up....right?

Yes, I have already installed it. The problem is that distro should ship it (this post is like bugreport). I have just installed LM 17.3 to virtualbox and there are still no gthumb
