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.

  • I am one of the unlucky ones. But I feel like this will be way to fix it. Still not resolved for me, but at least knowing that its known bug helps me to sleep :) Rewarding also bounty for good answer. Thanks for your effort! – Pavel Janicek Oct 02 '13 at 12:06

    No need to logout after applying the changes; killall nautilus does the trick. – IlluminAce Apr 01 '14 at 22:50
  • Solution is not working for me in Ubuntu 12.04....Please help!! – shivshankar Aug 08 '14 at 10:20

So, it seems like you have .svn files belonging to your older version of rabbitvcs(probably 1.6). These need to be upgraded to 1.7, which is the version you have installed. To do this, execute the following on a terminal:

svn upgrade

You need to reboot for this to complete. To reboot: sudo reboot

  • I already tried that and I get this error: janipav@janipav-energy:~$ svn upgrade svn: E155019: Can't upgrade '/home/janipav' as it is not a pre-1.7 working copy directory svn: E000002: Can't open file '/home/janipav/.svn/entries': No such file or directory – Pavel Janicek Sep 30 '13 at 14:55
  • Did you reboot your system after this? – jobin Sep 30 '13 at 15:09
  • I did even turn off and on the computer ... I am mentally preparing myselves that I wil simply use just only the svn commands from terminal... – Pavel Janicek Oct 01 '13 at 06:15
