          Based on here,



          After Nemo file manager installation, set Nemo as default File-Manager and allow desktop handling by Nemo open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:



          xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
          gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
          gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true


          Now enter this command in terminal to check that now Nemo is your default file manager :



          xdg-mime query default inode/directory





          If you want to go back with Nautilus as default File Manager try these commands:

          xdg-mime default nautilus*.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
          gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false
          gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

          • After changing, the places function in the top bar didn't work anymore. Removing and re-enabling it made it work with Nemo.

          them before using the WebUpd8 Nemo PPA even if you didn't install
          Cinnamon, or else the Nemo version in the WebUpd8 Nemo PPA might be
          overwritten.





          1. Install Nemo:
            Update: the PPA now provides Nemo 2.6 for Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 and
            15.04!
