Right click to encrypt files in Ubuntu 9.10
I’ve just installed Ubuntu version 9.10 (Karmic Koala) from scratch on my new work machine and noticed that you can no longer right click on a file to encrypt it. The functionality is still there – it just isn’t available by default. To get it just install the seahorse-plugins package as follows
sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins
I did a reboot to get the changes to take but there is probably a less drastic way of getting the job done.
maybe a logout is enough
Probably…I never tried it as I needed to restart anyway.
Cheers,
Mike
Just tried that and a logout is enough
Thanks for letting us know Gregor.
tnx man
After installing the plugins the following command will do in a terminal
killall nautilus; nohup nautilus
That one line when copied and pasted into a terminal simply closes and reopens nautilus, which is your desktop management software, after doing that you will be able to see encrypt and such in the right click just fine
Actually just copy and paste the following and it’ll install the plugins and restart nautilus and everything for you all in the one go
sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins; killall nautilus; nohup nautilus &
ahh just use the command
sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins; killall nautilus; nohup nautilus &
that’ll install the plugins as well as restart nautilus
Thanks, worked great!
sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins; killall nautilus; nohup nautilus &
