I have recently installed nemo with:  sudo apt-get install nemo   But I am finding that other applications still are using nautilus to open folders like for instance the Unity search still opens its search results and folders in nautilus. So is there any way that I can get it to use nemo as default (at least the search)?

I installed Ubuntu 12.10, then installed Nemo. Now I would like to make Nemo the default file manager.  I've searched the web for a solution but every time I restart my computer Nautilus come back.  Does anyone know an effective solution?

I am assuming that all application installed through apt-get are open source; but for those that are available in that manner, where can I get the source code for these applications as well as update them?   I have a couple applications I use regularly that aren't being actively developed any longer and I would like to add features. Where would I go to get the rights to update these applications?  In this case specifically, I am referring to the hellanzb package

Why are my home folders accessible by other users on the same system by default?  I understand that I can change the permission of the home folders but want to know why this happened?  I have done nothing to make the folders "shareable" and yet I can easily navigate to any users home folder using Nemo 2.4.5 and see all their contents.  This is quite a privacy and security flaw and I'm not sure why it has defaulted this way on my system.  Under Users and Groups (items checked =) (both are administrator accounts)  User 1 = adm, cdrom, dip, lpadmin, plugdev, sudo  User 2 = User 2, sudo  Also of note is why User 2 has User 2 clicked but User 1 does not have User 1 clicked.  Both accounts appear to behave exactly the same.  Thank you for any tips in this matter.

For editing screengrabs, I prefer to use , since  was no longer installable without hassles on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 However ksnip is available as a Snap App on my 20.04 ○ → snap list | grep ksnip ksnip                    1.8.0                       265    latest/stable    dporobic                 Unfortunately I have to start ksnip from the command line, then use the File-Open Dialog to pick a screengrab/PNG, then edit it in ksnip. This is should be easier. What I want is to use Nautilus File manager, then select the &quot;Open with other Application&quot; context menu item to select ksnip, and the have ksnip open the file I picked with nautilus. Nautilus Context Menu, selecting a PNG:  &quot;Select Application&quot; Dialog:  How can I achieve this? There is a &quot;View all Applications&quot; Button, but after clicking, ksnip does NOT appear in this list of apps. &quot;Find new applications&quot; does not work either. Maybe this is a duplicate, but I think we did not have the combination yet (Hack the dialog and Snap App)  (Note to self: maybe Shutter is usable again. Development had stalled for a while, or it needed a lot of deprecated versions of gnome libs as dependencies) .

I have created 100&nbsp;GB for /. When I opened Nautilus I have found the root folder. So what is difference between / and /root?  My username is enigma, and I have a folder named enigma in the /home folder and another folder with the same name in /media. What is the difference between these two folders and when do I have to use the second folder?

In Nautilus, when you double click a file, it will open it with the default application associated with the file's extension. For instance, .html files will open in a web browser and .pdf will be opened with Document Viewer. Is there a way to reproduce the same behavior from within the command line (i.e. open path/filename)? I'm asking because I like to browse my file-system from the command line but sometimes don't remember which app. opens what.

I've been using gksudo nautilus and sudo nautilus through Alt+F2.   What's the difference? They look very similar!

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and would like to set the Files (Nautilus) sidebar (where it shows Places, Devices, Network) to default to not being displayed.   It can be toggled on/off with F9. In preferences you can set hidden files to display or not, but there's no option to set the sidebar to not display by default.

I configured evince to be my default application to open pdf files (using Open with... and clicking on always opening pdf files with this application), but when I type gnome-open foo.pdf instead of evince, I have Nautilus that opens up in the correct folder highlighting the file of my choice.   This is especially disturbing since I am using the LaTeX plugin for gedit, and when I try and compile a tex file to pdf, instead of opening up a new window with my compiled pdf file, I just have nautilus pop-up. I know I can edit the scripts of my gedit LaTeX plugin to call on evince (or acroread) with the pdf I want opened, but this is a workaround and not the solution I am looking for.

I was evaluating  RabbitVCS as replacement  of RapidSVN to connect to my SVN repository on Ubuntu server.   This what I did on my 12.04   Opened the Ubuntu software centre Searched for RabbitVCS-Core and RabbitVCS-nautilus. They were listed. Installed both of them and they are successfull installed.   Then,    I used the dash home to see if I can find these programs. Opened Home folder and right clicked on certain folders which was checked out using Rapid SVN. I could not find any options to use RabbitVCS in nautilus from here. I restarted my machine and repeated both process again.   So How can I use RabbitVCS?   Am I seeing everything as it is expected or some thing weird?

How can I allow nautilus to draw desktop icons in 20.04? I made org.gnome.desktop.background.draw background= true but nothing happened. Before I made it done by enabling org.gnome.nautilus.desktop.show desktop to true. But now, even the schema is not available  now. What's wrong with it?  Is I'm only able to make desktop icons with an extension only?

I'm running 13.10 with Unity, and I have a "problem":  I'm using Nemo, because I prefer it over Nautilus (for obvious reasons imo), and it works really great.  The drawback of Nemo is, that it is kind of ugly; so I want to change the Icons of the folders. That's not a problem at all, using unity-tweak-tool, to change for example to one of the icon-themes which are delivered by .   The thing is, although this works great, and the Icons change, the problem is, that all of the Icons change, including my applications in the tray, and application icons in the dash. Can I modify the theme in such a way, that only the Icons for the folders change, and nothing else?  So e.g. delete everything in the ~/.icon/&lt;theme-name&gt;/ folder except places and "inherit" everything else from the default ubuntu-mono-dark theme?

I've been trying to get , but it's only available through Quantal, and I'm running Raring. Is there a way to force-install a PPA from a previous release? I tried manually downloading all the packages and running sudo dpkg -i but I get lots of errors about dependencies, some of which don't look like they can be resolved. Am I stuck with having to compile vim myself?

Why can I not open a second or third window, and so on, to view directories and files?  If I click the Home Folder button the same Nautilus window keeps showing up.
