I can confirm the fix still works, at least on Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE 32-bit. I made some little converters actions that NEED to be used in network shares (and the desktop) and then I realised it would not work there. Steps for people like me that would waste hours on this: 01. Enable source-code downloads on apt-sources (can be via gui) 02. sudo apt-get update 03. sudo build-deps thunar 04. mkdir $HOME/src && cd $HOME/src 05. apt-get source thunar 06. cd thunar-1.6.10 07. wget https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=3482 -O patch3482.patch 08. try the patch: patch --dry-run -p1 < patch3482.patch 09. if no errors, run for real! 10. patch --dry-run -p1 < patch3482.patch &>/dev/null && patch -p1 < patch3482.patch || echo "Failed" 11. The usual way would be: ./configure + make + make install, but we know better, right? 12. Create deb packages: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b 13. If all went fone you will have 4 new .deb packages in $HOME/src (1 level above, cd ..) 14. I just double-clicked the file libthunarx-2-0_1.6.10-1~14.04_i386.deb and chose REINSTALL 15. Reboot (NEEDED) and it works 16. No need to reinstall the other packages
I created this on a virtual machine and deployed the .deb in 2 real machines with success. All of them Mint 17 Rosa XFCE 32-bit. If I can I will try to generate 64bit and Ubuntu debs as well, but someone else could use the setps above to do that. I am attaching my .deb file here. But AGAIN: this is for Mint 17.3 Rosa XFCE 32-bit! Not sure it would work anywhere else and breaking thunar would be bad! In theory, should be fine for Ubuntu 14.04.5 (Trusty Tahr), BUT I HAVEN'T TESTED! Main reason I am doing this is because this has been pending for years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899624 Title: thunar actions only on local drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/899624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
