Dear All,

Today I did a dist upgrade and lost my ability to right click on an icon and do a save as or anything else. Nothing happens when I right click an image, folder, etc.

Also, I was able to right click on a photo on my facebook page and save it to someplace in my system and nothing happens there when I right click. No popup choices at all.

I am very much a newbie when configuring this system.

I have enlightenment and gnome, I believe.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

aicram

Did you reboot your system after the"dist-upgrade ??

that sounds like the right click action option was set to "everywhere" instead to just the desktop. check that in the mouse shortcut settings menu.

Thanks for your help. I was looking at the mouse input menu and could not figure it out. I am not sure where the mouse shortcut settings menu is.
I bet I can make the change there. I just cannot locate the right settings so far. If you would let me know exactly where those settings are I will be grateful.

Thanks very much.

Press ctrl+alt+space bar to bring up the everything launcher and then search for "mouse"

When the everything launcher pops up type mouse by the little arrow under"accessories"They should have put the word "search" but in the day of near terrabyte disks and 2-4 gig of RAM being the norm on a cheap rig,space seems to still be of the utmost importance in the Linux world.

thanks. I did the ctrl-alt-space and got the everything box but could not type anything next to the arrow. I found mouse bindings section and it looked promising but did not know what to do in there to make this right clicking work as before. I am probably totally confused. Hard to believe I have used linux since 2001.

Thanks and I still have not figured this out.

Sincerely,

Lets try a screenshot.
Damnit !
I cant capture a screenshot.
Pay attention.
Jeff said control/alt/space bar.
just under the word accessories/up top(and in between the large icon below the space/that also says accessories), type in mouse.
Go from there.

I needed to place my pointer before the arrow to type mouse. After that, went to mouse buttons and chose right button then in action context chose menu. This did the trick.
Thank you very much for your help. All is well now.
