 ===== Thunar -> Nautilus ===== ===== Thunar -> Nautilus =====
 +DON'T FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS YET, THEY ARE AT BEST A WAY TO TRY, BUT SO FAR IT DOESN'T WORK SATISFYINGLY!

 while thunar does the job it is still a bit hard to get used to it as a former nautilus user.. so i prefer to get nautilus with its nice bookmarks back. here's how it's done (copied from [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6807336&postcount=4|this post]]):  while thunar does the job it is still a bit hard to get used to it as a former nautilus user.. so i prefer to get nautilus with its nice bookmarks back. here's how it's done (copied from [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6807336&postcount=4|this post]]):

       * ''/usr/share/applications/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop''       * ''/usr/share/applications/Thunar-folder-handler.desktop''
       * ''/usr/share/applications/bamf.index''       * ''/usr/share/applications/bamf.index''
 +  - in ''/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop'' make shure that ''XFCE'' is mentioned in the list behind ''OnlyShowIn'' like so: ''OnlyShowIn=XFCE;GNOME;Unity;''
 +  - run ''xfce4-settings-manager'' and go to default applications and set nautilus as your default file manager
 +  - edit ''/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop'' and ''bamf.index'' and change make shure all occurences of ''nautilus'' have a ''--no-desktop'' behind it
 +  - renamed ''/usr/bin/Thunar'' and created a new file called ''/usr/bin/Thunar'' with this content <code>#!/bin/bash 
 +nautilus --no-desktop</code> and of course <code>chmod 755 /usr/bin/Thunar</code> i now finally have thunar as default file browser but it doesn't seem to run smooth.. so be careful with this! 
  
 +==== Automount of USB Disks not working ====
 +this only happened on one pc where i moved from ubuntu to xubuntu and kept using gdm: when plugged-in a usb stick it did not mount and when i clicked it to mount it in the gui it showed an error saying i was "Not Authorized". 
  
 +Unfortunately i did too many things at once to explicitly tell you what fixed it in the end but here are the two things i did: 
 +  - installed ''usbmount''
 +  - edited ''/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy'' and changed all ''<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>'' to ''<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>''
