I can't see system files in the nautilus 47 side panel

I can’t see system files in the nautilus 47 side panel, is it just me?

Added nautilus

Could you please elaborate further what you mean with side panel? The one on the left?

One common thing is that (hidden) system files are not displayed by default. You can enable that in settings, or simply press CTRL+h.

i think what he is referring is this panel having no / section, same as me (dd is another drive)

I also thought of that as the side panel, and if that’s the case: the side panel shows only directories or bookmarks, not individual files, but let’s wait for @luca to clarify his issue.

even if it is not @luca meant, could you please help me about that?

Hi @Flo augenauf, I meant exactly what @chis theplumber showed.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. And you want to see the content of / there? That’s what you mean?

Yes, can you guide me?

Hit CTRL+L and type / in the address bar. Then bookmark it.
Alternatively, you can just click in the address bar and type /.


screenshot shows address bar pointing to /, and side bar has the renamed bookmark.

In case anyone has trouble on the “bookmark it” part, you need to use the Ctrl-D keyboard shortcut.

just fyi, the proper way seems to be:
