Does any other Debian Developer have an opinion on this issue? 2017-01-30 20:31 GMT+00:00 Bruno Nova <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > After installing any Nautilus extension, Nautilus must be restarted > for the extension to work (restarting the user session also works). > That dialog asking to restart the file manager is there to do that, so > that average users are not confused when the extension doesn't work > after being installed. > > The postinst scripts adds a config file to > /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d, so that update-notifier then displays > that dialog sometime after the package is installed. > That file contains the line "DontShowAfterReboot: True", so the dialog > shouldn't be displayed after a reboot. > Plus, this approach is also used in other Nautilus extensions, like > nautilus-compare. > > So, I'm not sure about removing that warning dialog. > > > 2017-01-30 9:47 GMT+00:00 Mantas Baltix <[email protected]>: >> Package: nautilus-admin >> Version: 0.2.4-1 >> >> Dear Bruno, >> >> When I install nautilus-admin package on Ubuntu, then all users get >> misleading warning at first login after installation: >> >> "The file manager must be restarted in order to start the Nautilus >> Admin extension." >> >> This warning should be moved from nautilus-admin package >> debian/postinst script to package's description or >> /usr/share/doc/nautilus-admin/README.Debian, because of 2 reasons: >> >> 1.
