Re: Ubuntu 19.04 ".desktop" no longer working!?
I may have misunderstood your question. I see now that you are talking about icons on the Desktop, not icons in the Dock which I had in mind. Please make sure that the gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package is installed. And, when we are at it, if you are on a standard Ubuntu desktop, it's highly recommended that also the ubuntu-desktop package is installed. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Artful.. I don't know to which extent those extensions apply in 19.04. There *were* changes in 19.04, and the package I mentioned should be installed as any other package, i.e. sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons (it does not exist in releases before 19.04) If you find that that package was not already installed, I recommend that you also do: sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop Can you please replicate this on your side and, e.g. create a sym link on your desktop, change the icon in the property and confirm that is also changes the desktop view? If I wanted to report this behavior as a bug - what is the minimal information / process required? Let's wait with that until you have tried the above. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Well, there is a newer one in -updates. sudo apt update sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons Worth installing, but I doubt it will make a difference for you. (If you end up filing a bug, you should indeed have the the version from -updates installed.) Can you please replicate this on your side and, e.g. create a sym link on your desktop, change the icon in the property and confirm that is also changes the desktop view? I tried with a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and figured out a limitation: Your user needs to be the owner of the .desktop file for a symlink to work. In my test case: sudo chown gunnar: /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop Then a symlink worked fine after I had right clicked and choosen "Allow Launching". A changed icon was reflected on the Desktop after having relogged in. If I wanted to report this behavior as a bug - what is the minimal information / process required? Not sure in this case.. A summary of this email thread would probably be a good start. And the package candidate is obvious: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons There you see a list of open bugs, but I don't think any of them covers the "doesn't work at all" case. ;) -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
