I uninstall thunar and install nautilus yestoday,after that, i cant delete or creat files and folders on desktop,it show "The name org.xfce.FileManager was not provided by any .service files",anyone know what's wrong?

xfdesktop requires/uses thunar libraries for desktop file management functionality.

but i uninstall thunar on my pc ,creating and deleting works well ,the issues above appear on my notebook,same option but diffrent result thats strange

Are the versions of Xfce and thunar the same on your notebook as they are on your PC?

FateRover · 2018-12-22 23:32:24

yes,both debian sid,so they are in same version,have checked second time, is "xfdesktop requires thunar libraries" mean nautilus can not run without thunar libs? but i have apt autoremove thunar already on pc snd reboot,it still works

No. It means that xfdesktop requires thunar libraries to manage files on the desktop.

but i have apt autoremove thunar already on pc snd reboot,it still works

Is xfdesktop running on your PC or is nautilus managing the desktop? What does the following return on your PC?

ps -ef | grep -i xfdesktop | grep $USER
ps -ef | grep -i thunar | grep $USER
ps -ef | grep -i nautilus | grep $USER

Also, how did you remove thunar on debian sid? When I try, it wants to uninstall all of Xfce because it's seen as a dependency.

pad@Pad:~$ ps -ef | grep -i xfdesktop | grep $USER
pad       1140     1  0 09:12 ?        00:00:00 xfdesktop
pad       1825  1821  0 09:13 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i xfdesktop
pad@Pad:~$ ps -ef | grep -i thunar | grep $USER
pad       1835  1821  0 09:13 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i thunar
pad@Pad:~$ ps -ef | grep -i nautilus | grep $USER
pad       1843  1821  0 09:14 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i nautilus
pad@Pad:~$

just uninstall thunar by

sudo apt autoremove thunar

i build both system by

apt install xorg xfce4-session thunar

and some other nessary plugins such as xfce4-pulseaudio，whisker,in another word,i dont install the whole xfce4 but part of them,so debian maybe build dependency more meticulous
edit: the system do have some dependency libs of gnome which belong to networkmanager and some other useful plugins
edit2:ok my pc now in same issue .

As far as I know, xfdesktop needs thunar to manage desktop icons (launchers, etc).

Try (re)-installing libthunarx-3-0 to see if that helps.

reinstalling thunar fully solve this while reinstalling linthunarx-3-0 only not
