Jeremy, *all* Ubuntu releases have used the GNOME desktop. 'nautilus' is the GNOME file manager which appears to users as the 'Files' application. Assigning to the nautilus package as you originally seem to have intended although another component of the GNOME desktop might actually be at fault. Perhaps, gnome-settings-daemon?
I'm sure a member of the Desktop team will be along shortly to advise you further. ** Package changed: ubuntu => nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940543 Title: Show Hidden Files does not persist and even resets during the same session Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since 20.04 has been released, the option "Show Hidden Files" has never lasted long. It never persists over a reboot and even during the same session, it will just hide the files after some random (it seems random) interval. This happens for me on 3 different computers, all different builds. This happens on a vanilla install too. I have never been able to make "Show Hidden Files" last longer than an hourish, and never over a reboot. I work a lot in hidden files, this is mostly just frustrating to me since it happens randomly and when I am moving around a project, I have to keep toggling "Show Hidden Files" to get work done. I did have to reinstall `gnome-control-center` after a fresh install and updating Ubuntu 20.04 the latest version, I am not sure if that could help identify the issue but I have always had this issue on 20.04 so I am doubtful. I did this running: ``` sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-center ``` I had to reinstall this since Settings was no longer available after the system was updated (fresh install with `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` is what broken it for me to have to reinstall it. I even tried using: ``` gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser show-hidden true ``` but the issue still happens. Also, not sure why nautilus is installed, I thought 20.04 was gnome? Again, this is a fresh install (15 days old) ``` $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 ``` ``` $ apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installed: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.36.1.1-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages ``` ``` apt-cache policy gnome gnome: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:3.30+2 Version table: 1:3.30+2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages ``` ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.11.0-27.29~20.04.1-generic 5.11.22 Uname: Linux 5.11.0-27-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.18 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Aug 19 09:46:31 2021 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'initial-size' b'(1280, 1393)' b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'default-folder-viewer' b"'list-view'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'where', 'date_modified', 'date_modified_with_time', 'date_accessed', 'recency', 'starred', 'detailed_type']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-08-03 (15 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20210209.1) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_nautilus: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1940543/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
