In order to get Nautilus thumbnails working (especially pdf thumbnails), I had to do the following steps: 1) Create the gsettings thumbnailer directory as root: sudo -s mkdir /usr/share/thumbnailers 2) Create the “evince-thumbnailer.thumbnailer” configuration file in /usr/share/thumbnailers AND make it readable by users (in particular nautilus running as user) sudo gedit /usr/share/thumbnailers/evince-thumbnailer.thumbnailer chmod 644 /usr/share/thumbnailers/evince-thumbnailer.thumbnailer With the following contents: [Thumbnailer Entry] TryExec=/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer Exec=/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o MimeType=application/pdf;application/x-pdf;image/pdf; This immediately fixes the lack of pdf thumbnails in Nautilus 3.0.0-0ubuntu1~build3 (provided by Evince 3.0.0-0ubuntu1~build1 evince-thumbnailer). It also automatically populates the /usr/share/thumbnailers directory with the following files related to thumbnails for other mime types: $ ls -al /usr/share/thumbnailers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196 2010-12-15 07:57 agr-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 211 2010-12-15 07:57 dvi-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204 2010-12-15 07:57 eps-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155 2011-04-23 22:41 evince-thumbnailer.thumbnailer -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 372 2010-12-15 07:57 ffmpeg-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204 2010-12-15 07:57 fig-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 522 2010-12-15 07:57 odf-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209 2010-12-15 07:57 ogg-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209 2010-12-15 07:57 pdf-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 2010-12-15 07:57 psd-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 213 2010-12-15 07:57 ps-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 429 2010-12-15 07:57 raw-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 2010-12-15 07:57 svgz-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194 2010-12-15 07:57 tex-thumbnailer.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 192 2010-12-15 07:57 xcf-thumbnailer.desktop I have attached a tar.gzipped copy of my /usr/share/thumbnailers folder (i.e. with the same files as above).
