Purging wslu restores expected behaviour for desktop icons. It's not gnome-ubuntu specific, as the problem also occurs in Kubuntu
But how / why wslu gets installed at first ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wslu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2018649 Title: Ubuntu 22.04 (fresh install) desktop entries do not open Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng package in Ubuntu: New Status in wslu package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, here is a dell optiplex 3240. And a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Double click on an icon does not open the file. Right click on an icon → open → does not work either. But… right click → open with another application → works. Tested on Xorg and Wayland, same behaviour. I don't have this problem on another machine with more or less the same installation, but made months before. And I don't have this problem during live-session ( try without install ) on that Optiplex3240 machine.
