I experience the problem with multiple caja instances but cannot find those files.loukingjr wrote:thanks. the problem seems to be that when Caja is installed it creates more than one .desktop file and although I had the one with --no-desktop visible it seems SalixOS/Slackware was also seeing the others and going into a loop. I deleted all but one .desktop file and now it's fine.
they are in /user/share/applications. they are named "File Manager" but, so is Thunar so you have to check which are which.witek wrote:Where are those files?

You mean /usr/share/applications? Could you please give me the exact path to such a file with its filename? I cannot locate where you described.loukingjr wrote:they are in /user/share/applications. they are named "File Manager" but, so is Thunar so you have to check which are which.
sorry yes, /usr/share/applications as I said the file names are "File Manager" and there will be a few. You need to open each one with an editor to see which are for Caja and which are for Thunar. Look for the copy that has the line that starts Exec=caja --no-desktop and comment out the line that says OnlyShowInMate. You can delete the other File Manager .desktop files that are for Caja.witek wrote:You mean /usr/share/applications? Could you please give me the exact path to such a file with its filename?
