Here is a workaround for ubuntu 20.04: 1. remove gnome extension `sudo rm -r /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano/` 2. install nemo: see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/158#alternative-solution and replace `dnf` with `apt`.
Current gnome desktop-icons extension is useless because you just can't interact with icons. I really don't get it how it came into an LTS release... :-( ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues #158 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/158 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868924 Title: a desktop launcher icon can not be activated by focusing and pressing enter Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a desktop launcher icon which launches a shell script which auto-starts apps that I use. I tend to click on the launcher icon with my mouse, then press Enter to run the launcher. This worked well on Ubuntu 19.10 but stopped working on Ubuntu 20.04. Double-clicking on the launcher icon correctly launches the launcher, and I'm happy with the workaround. Yet, maybe something to look into.
