[SOLVED] Changing back to Nautilus and desktop shotcuts

[phoenix_art]

Hello!

I've returned to Gnome - using tasksel - after using LXDE on my Debian 10 systems and now I have some questions now:

- when I open a folder from places PCManFM always opens instead of Nautilus, I don't wanna to uninstall lxde - or PCManFM yet,

- I created some .desktop shortcut files but I can't run them in Gnome. I know there is gtk-launch command in Terminal but I wish run them outside of Terminal too.

Please help, thank you!

Did you check in system preferences if you can change default file browser to nautilus?

Yes, of course, but there isn't anything options for change the default file manager there.

Try

Code: Select all

xdg-mime default org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop inode/directory

If that doesn't work then check ~/.config/mimeapps.list for any inode/directory associations.

Thank you! Your first suggestion command worked well!

You may want to use the GNOME display manager:

Code: Select all

dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

Can you post one of the .desktop file?
