After Nemo File Manager yesterday, now we bring you Nautilus here. Nautilus is predecessor for big file managers in Linux such as Nemo and Caja. We need to explain Nautilus in Ubuntu in one article. We hope this will help new users in Ubuntu. Enjoy.

I've got a new handheld device Sony Ericsson Xperia ST25i with Android operating system recently. This device has internal storage only, it has no external storage. I tried to connect it in my Ubuntu 12.04 but my file manager (Dolphin) could only read and could not write into its storage. And you know, Sony PC Companion program (tool for transferring files into Xperia) is not available for Linux until today. So, I try Ubuntu 15.04 today. You may do it from LiveCD. Out of the box, Ubuntu detects my Xperia easily and I can read or write any files (create folder, copy MP3, copy images, etc.) into my Xperia. You don't need to install anything. By using this, you don't need Sony PC Companion again. I want to share it here.

Hello readers! I'm sorry for not writing any post in this blog lately. Today, I'd like to share my experience on enabling "Open as Root" or "Open as Administrator" on Nautilus context menu. This kind of context menu is very useful because we can directly edit file (text file) which is located in system folder e.g. we can edit source list file by right clicking on the file and select "Open as Root" as the below image shows.

If you are a developer who work together on a project as a team. You might familiar with version control or revision control. Revision control simply is a management of changes to the documents including source code. Today, I'd like to share the cool version control client application which can make our work easier. Introducing RabbitVCS!

One simply function that I always expect would land in nautilus is small utility which allow us to copy file to mounted device easily, Yeah..  a similar function like Windows. There are many ubuntu user which come from Windows, a function like this will make them feel comfortable using their new OS (Ubuntu).

There is small nautilus script which can simplify our work, this script allow us to send file to Flashdrive or other mounted device trough 'right click' menu in nautilus, this function is similar to 'send to' in windows, see following screenshot.
