F.A.Q
Debian 7 Wheezy
- Seahorse is installed but when searching the GNOME interface Seahorse is not showing in the results?
This is normal. Seahorse is titled "Passwords and Keys". Simply open "Passwords and Keys". Optionally, navigate to "Help" menu ---> "About" option. A popup window will open. It reads "seahorse" and show its version.
