Hi, I have a strange problem with Caja.
Caja preview files only in super user mode. If I open Caja as a normal user, only the names are displayed. Solutions to the problem?
Thank you.
I followed the post suggestions: Caja only shows images and icons preview when root but it didn't work.
I would recommend to check file permissions and owner of the cache and thumbnlails folders:
ls -ld ~/.cache/
ls -ld ~/.cache/thumbnails/
Both commands should report something like:
drwx------ 1 username username
If you have root root
here, then you need to take own of these folders with commands:
sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.cache/
sudo chown -R $USER: ~/.cache/thumbnails/
and then restart Caja with caja -q
.
