On Ubuntu 20.04, Nautilus shows pop-ups when a copy is finished, or when a file is deleted ("undo"). However, the pop-ups are annoying because they cover the files underneath for quite a while.

  1. How to disable all the pop-ups completely?

  2. How to selectively disable only the "undo" pop-up, keeping the other pop-ups active?

I tried to follow this procedure (for Ubuntu 18.04), How to remove the "Undo" popup when deleting a file in Nautilus but in Ubuntu 20.04 the ~/.themes folder does not exist.

    `~/.themes/` is one of the possible folders where your theme are. Check other ones, e.g. `/usr/share/themes/`, `~/.local/share/themes/`. – pomsky May 22 '20 at 17:59

  1. Checked in /usr/share/themes/;
  2. Found Yaru-dark (theme currently in use, double checked on GNOME Tweaks);
  3. Opened in folder in Terminal (right click on the folder);

  4. Ran 

    sudo gedit gtk.css

  5. added the line 

    .app-notification { padding: 0; margin: -80px 0 0 0; opacity: 0;}

    at the end

  6. Saved file, closed, refreshed the theme by using GNOME Tweaks;

Now all pop-ups are off.

    This is temporary solution as files in `/usr/share/themes` may be overwritten on next package update. Consider to use local copy in `~/.themes/` or `~/.local/share/themes/` as pomsky suggests. – N0rbert May 24 '20 at 15:46
  • In a slightly unrelated note, it's a bad practice to [run GUI applications with `sudo`](https://askubuntu.com/q/270006/480481), at least use the `-H` flag. – pomsky May 25 '20 at 08:23
