Nautilus is the [[GNOME]] desktop's file manager. When using Nautilus without GNOME, you may need to enable ~~the GVfs service in order for Nautilus~~ to ~~work properly~~. If GVfs is not available, you may see errors such as "Sorry, could not display all the contents of “trash:///”: Operation not supported" when trying to open the trash folder, or be unable to access network filesystems.

Nautilus is the [[GNOME]] desktop's file manager. When using Nautilus without GNOME, you may need to enable additional services to get familiar functionality.

When using X11, this is probably sufficient (though, see the general notes on [[GNOME#Running_GNOME_programs_outside_of_GNOME|running GNOME programs outside of GNOME]]). On Wayland, more effort may be required: [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/128026].

== Gstreamer ==

Unless you've installed Gstreamer plugins system-wide, the "Audio and Video Properties" pane under the "Properties" menu for media files will say "Oops! Something went wrong. Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."

To enable the A/V Properties and see details like media length, codec, etc, the following [[overlays|overlay]] may be used:

{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>

nixpkgs.overlays = [(self: super: {

gnome = super.gnome.overrideScope' (gself: gsuper: {

nautilus = gsuper.nautilus.overrideAttrs (nsuper: {

buildInputs = nsuper.buildInputs ++ (with gst_all_1; [

gst-plugins-good

gst-plugins-bad

]);

});

})];

</nowiki>}}
