Changing 12.0.4 64-bit file display from icon to details

moxieman99 · 08-07-2012, 08:50 PM

I am checking out Ubuntu 12-0.4 64-bit distro, and don't like the icon/thumbnail display for files or programs when I go into a directory. What settings can I adjust, and where, so that the native display is filename, characteristics, type, etc?

Thanks.

What file manager are you using? If it is not nautilus,

Code:

sudo apt-get install nautilus

and you can use nautilus to do what you want.

Thanks, I will check it out. i am mystified, however, as to why Ubuntu doesn't offer a simpe and obvious way to do this.
