Title:
Desktop icons disappearing
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This is in Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla.
The bug:
When connecting to USB tethering and allowing access to the phone's
filesystem, Ubuntu's Desktop icons disappear.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect a phone to the computer via USB tethering (am a bit uneasy about
mentioning which model phone it is). Switch on USB tethering and then switch
off USB tethering in the phone's Mobile hotspot and tethering options. The
phones screen will popup a dialog box asking "Allow access to phone data?"
(which is a way to give the computer access to the phone's filesystem). You can
click either "Allow" or "Deny". When either "Allow" or "Deny" is selected, the
Desktop icons on Ubuntu disappear. When USB tethering is switched back on, the
Desktop icons reappear.
I've attached a video of the phenomenon. The video starts with USB
tethering being switched on, which is why you can see the desktop
icons. Then when USB tethering is switched off and "Allow" is clicked
on the phone, the icons disappear and then they reappear when USB
tethering is switched on again.
This bug is probably related to bugs #1928206 and #1928213, which
indicate that there are some inconsistencies with how the Nautilus
Desktop works with respect to a Nautilus window.
