I'm still having the same issue after doing all the latest updates. I will see if I can upload a photo to produce the results I'm getting.
** Attachment added: "Photo of icons mixed together after inserting flash drive" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1795721/+attachment/5231810/+files/Screenshot%20from%202019-01-23%2014-43-17.png -- 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/1795721 Title: Newly mounted drive icons jumbled with Desktop icons. Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The icons for newly mounted [flash] drives automatically appear directly on top of existing desktop icons even if the the "Keep aligned" context menu has previously been selected. It can easily be corrected by selecting "Organize Desktop by Name" from the context menu, but past versions of Ubuntu have usually accomplished this automatically upon flash drive mounting without the need for doing it manually. I will attach a screenshot where you can see the icons mixed together. It appears to affect only flash drives and only the first one that is inserted, as additional drives that are added appear automatically organized on the Desktop. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the size of the flash drive or not because my 2GB drive would not appear on the Desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) at all. *UPDATE* My 2GB flash drive was not formatted, that is why it was not read at all. So, it has nothing to do with size of the drive. I plugged in a 32GB drive today and experienced the same problem after doing all the latest updates. I will see if I can upload another photo of the results. 2-23-19 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu7.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-34.37-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Oct 2 12:30:21 2018 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: virtualbox, 5.2.10, 4.15.0-34-generic, x86_64: installed DpkgLog: ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0156] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [103c:1854] InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-09-02 (30 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP 2000 Notebook PC ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-34-generic root=UUID=11b3a365-ed63-4add-b6d2-0d7fe34d05bb ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 06/16/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.46 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 1854 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 64.2A dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 5CG3103SQ4 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.46:bd06/16/2014:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHP2000NotebookPC:pvr088A120000305910000620100:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn1854:rvr64.2A:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.family: 103C_5335KV G=N L=CON B=HP S=PRE X=MIN dmi.product.name: HP 2000 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 088A120000305910000620100 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard version.compiz: compiz N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.91-2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~18.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 18.0.5-0ubuntu0~18.04.1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.6-1ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:18.0.1-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20171229-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.15-2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1795721/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
