:date: 2019-08-07 ========================= Wednesday, August 7, 2019 ========================= I fixed some failures of the book test suite. Which revealed a bug: :attr:`use_linod ` did not yet automatically cause :manage:`install` to install the `schedule` package. SSH key already expired ======================= Strange: Enigmail says "Your key "Luc Saffre " (key ID AA08 9AA7 687C 65B4 ECB5 A1C5 4B7A AFD7 85BA 6D05) will expire in less than 30 days. We recommend that you create a new key pair and configure the corresponding accounts to use it." Ubuntu Files manager fails to open files ======================================== When I double click or type ENTER on a file in Files (the default file manager in Ubuntu, aka Nautilus), it seems to run some process (the mouse cursor becomes a hourglass for some time), but actually nothing opens. When I do the same in Thunar (another file manager), it works fine. The problem occurs with all file extensions (pdf, png, odt, doc, ...) It *does* open files when I right-click and select "Open with other application", and then press ENTER to select the default application. .. image:: 0807a.png ENTER in above dialog will launch LibreOffice writer correctly. But does it fail when I just hit ENTER on the file? I went to :menuselection:`Files --> Preferences --> Behaviour` and changed "Open Action" from "Double click to open items" to "Single click to open items". Now a single click toggles the open action, but the problem remains the same. After reading `this article `__, I switched from Nautilus to Nemo:: $ xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false $ gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true Note that I had Nemo already installed earlier. It's strange that both Nemo and Nautilus are named "Files"...
