[SOLVED] Strange Nemo error

Hey, there.

So I have Nemo running on openbox and I usually run it with the --no-desktop option in my pipe menus. Now, it suddenly throws that "--no-desktop" option is an unknown option, even though the option is still listed on the man page. Anybody know why this is happening. Using the latest Nemo from the official repos.

Could it be related to this? https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/1510

Apparently nemo-desktop is handling the desktop now, so that flag (option) was probably removed from Nemo. In that case, they forgot to update the man page and you should open a bug report.

Thanks for the heads up, I was thinking that was the case, but had trouble finding information on it, although I don't get the same errors as in the link.

Thanks for the help.
