$ uname -a
Linux localhost 4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5 #1 SMP Sun May 14 18:41:19 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

running LXDE in vbox

The following package is going to be installed:

- pcmanfm-1.2.3-2.3.mga5.i586

110B of additional disk space will be used.

269KB of packages will be retrieved.

Is it ok to continue?

I opened it from the terminal and opened some files - it is working properly.

opened via menu - tools - system tools - working as designed.
