RabbitVCS GUI does not appear

I installed RabbitVCS on my linux box which went without a hitch. Now I'm having trouble running the thing, I want to bring up the GUI. Naturally I tried rabbitvcs from the command line, then rabbitvcs SVN but no luck ( see output below ). I get usage info, but that didn't seem to help me much. How can I run it in GUI mode ?

--------------------------------------
flipper@matrix ~ $ rabbitvcs
Usage: rabbitvcs module [path1] [path2] ...

Available Modules

SVN:
about, add, annotate, applypatch, branch, browser, changes, checkmods, checkout, cleanup, commit, createpatch, create, delete, diff, editconflicts, export, ignore, import, lock, log, merge, properties, open, relocate, rename, markresolved, revert, settings, switch, unlock, update, updateto

Git:
about, add, annotate, applybranch, branches, changes, checkout, clean, clone, commit, createpatch, create, delete, diff, editconflicts, export, ignore, log, merge, open, push, rename, remotes, reset, revert, settings, tags, update

For module specific help type: rabbitvcs -h

flipper@matrix ~ $ rabbitvcs SVN
flipper@matrix ~ $ rabbitvcs SVN -h
flipper@matrix ~ $

Uninstall rabbitvcs using sudo apt-get purge rabbitvcs* and reinstall it using below command lines on Ubuntu. 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus
nautilus -q

and close the already opened window and reopen and right click. You will get RabbitVCS SVN, Git and Hg option on the screen. It's tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04.

To me

nautilus -q

after installation was enough to show up in Ubuntu.

I am currently using Opensuse 13.1

My problem was that there was no RABBITVCS menu on nautilus.

When starting Nautilus, I discovered that nautilus clomplaims of not having the "python3-simplejson python-simplejson" libraries.

Unfortunately i don't know why the zypper didn't install it when installing rabbitVCS package.

As you can see here, RabbitVCS is actually a Nautilus plugin. Try taking a look at your working copy through Nautilus.

It has no separate GUI.

By the way, I actually tried using it for a while, but I found it somewhat slow and clumsy. I switched to using the SVN and git console commands.

I later found that meld actually provides me with a very nice visual diff. It understands SVN and git, but you'll need the very latest version to make the git diff work just right.
