Of course it was installed from updates.
Why should that matter?
Because I don't know the habits of the OP in installing updates.
So, not being in the habit of making assumptions and my not knowing how the Activities search finds applications and since caja is part of MATE, I felt it would be a good idea to check the release version of caja for the potential of a packaging change.
The upgrade is done mostly by following the instructions in the Fedora web site. These were my steps... * patch and re-boot. * dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=33 * dnf system-upgrade reboot * have a tall cold one! ...well, several tall cold ones! * dnf upgrade * dnf repoquery --unsatisfied * dnf repoquery --duplicates * symlinks -r /usr | grep dangling * symlinks -r -d /usr * rpm --rebuilddb * dnf distro-sync * fixfiles -B onboot * reboot. * rkhunter --propupd
Ed's first post did suggest things to look at.
Since the upgrade (and patching) keeps the most recent 2 patches, I tried to boot up in each of those last 2 (f32), log in, and check for caja. The application has become "invisible" to gnome in those patches also. 1. Before Thursday's upgrade, in f32, caja was visible in the gnome dash, it was visible in the gnome applications grid, and the gnome activities search would find it. I used it just before doing the pre-upgrade patch. 2. Now, in both of the 2 f32s, caja does not show up in the gnome dash, it does not show up in the gnome applications grid, and the gnome activities search fails to find it. 3. In f33, the behavior is as described in #2 above, I tried that with the root account, the admin account, and both user accounts; no difference. So the upgrade seems to have made caja invisible to gnome, evewn in the 2 old f32s. But, in gnome, I can launch caja from the command line, and when I insert a USB drive into a USB port, a little box slides down below the date-time; it offers to open the drive with caja (and it works).
In f33, I logged in to Mate. Caja is there and it works.
I attached output from "dnf info caja" so you can see what I have.
Those are all the clues and evidence I can think of at the moment.
