I want to change this name to "Computer" which was earlier. It was changed by me accidentally but later on I forgot the method to change it. Any help will be appreciated.

  • @SpasSpasov, is it actually a duplicate as he desires to change the name of the connected devices not a default nautilus folder name, the method of changing the names are they the same? – George Udosen Dec 30 '16 at 12:22
  • Hi, @George. We actually don't know what Uddeshya really has done. That is just my guess. I think change of the partition name will not solve the problem, because I've tried it. To change the default nautilus folder name he must be followed some manual like this: http://askubuntu.com/a/344908/566421 ... and recompile the Nautilus. But it is more complicated and if he was done these steps, I think, he will remembered what he has done. – pa4080 Dec 30 '16 at 14:49
  • thank u friends but i have corrected it. What I actually did was went to "Details" (from ubuntu search center) and changed the device name to "Computer". – Uddeshya Kumar Jan 02 '17 at 16:03

You should find out what's the drive name, and you can do that runnig fdisk -l.

Assuming that the highlighted item is names /dev/sda1, to change the labels use one of these commands:

sudo e2label /dev/sda1 Computer

or

sudo sudo tune2fs -L Computer /dev/sda1
