Testing unity session in Focal Fossa - 20.04

I see we’ve switched from Nautilus to Nemo with the Unity DE for Focal. I have one question… this is something I noticed on my wife’s Linux Mint system and I don’t know if it applies here but since Mint already uses Nemo I thought I’d ask.

With Nautilus and Deja Dup, if I want to restore a file, I can right-click in the folder and select “Restore Missing File” or right click on a file and select “Revert to Previous Version.” These options do NOT appear in Linux Mint. Is that because there is a plug-in to Nemo that is missing? Is that plug-in available with Unity on Focal?

Unity DE the best

The link “(https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-unity-remix-beta-20-04/)” doesn’t seem to be working …

I am wondering if someone can point me to a way to make nemo the default file manager on focal. There a are posts scattering on forums but it seems that unity is already using nemo to handle the desktop it is probably simpler and smoother on focal than previous ubuntus.

Thanks for the great job of keeping unity alive, it is by far the most polished and functional Linux desktop.

tem um problema do unity que não tem configuração de touthpad no unity control center que é pro sistema já vir com o pacote (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) dá pra esse pacote já vir instalado no sistema

run this in terminal
xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

Thanks.

How do I go back if needed?

You would simply go to ~/.config/mimeapps.list and edit or just remove this line in the [Default Applications] section.
inode/directory=nemo.desktop

I found that you need to go to customize and enable title bar, otherwise the buttons to close, minimize and unmaximize disappear and don’t come back after you unmaximize firefox.

Thanks mc3man for the nice work.

For those who may be interested. I found that Nemo doesn’t refresh itself on my machine. E.g if I untar a tarball it doesn’t show up until I restart Nemo. I solved the problem by adding the line

fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

to /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot

Thx man! It’s really beutifull indeed! :heart_eyes:

It’s great to see the good old unity on ubuntu 20.04.

Sorry if this may sound redundant, but even though I’ve installed the latest version, the icon did not show yet… Is there a workaround or something that I could apply?

@diego-ibias Are you sure this is V2? Because I’m using it on my main system (posting from there), and it appears perfectly fine with the default Yaru+Papirus.

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear! It’s about the theme for V2! Yaru + Papirus is working just fine!

I’m trying to put the logo their with Yarunity.

Working with no problems at all here with the themes and icons pre-installed!
