Ubuntu – 13.04 no context menu after rabbitvcs install

13.04context menunautilusrabbitvcs

I was using rabbit in 12.04 LTS and then upgraded to 13.04 while rabbit menu was gone. So I went to the install page and followed the instructions:

  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus3
  4. restart computer, no context menu. So I continued:
  5. sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-gedit
  6. sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-cli

    • Log out
    • log in
    • open nautilus,
    • right click on random folder

but still no "Rabbit VCS" in the context menu. I am certainly doing something incorrectly. But cannot figure out what…

EDIT
Nautilus version is 3.6.3 and it si basically the default which comes with Ubuntu 13.04 – in Ubuntu it is called as "Files"

You can fix the missing context menu. I suggest removing the installed PPA version and the ppa (How do I remove a PPA added via command-line?), reinstall the version from Ubuntu and follow the instructions I derived from the bug reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitvcs/+bug/1093533.

You need to download the following file http://rabbitvcs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/clients/nautilus-3.0/RabbitVCS.py

Copy it (using root/su/sudo) to:

/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/RabbitVCS.py

You may also need to create the following symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0

You will need to restart your session (log out and back in again) to see the changes.
