[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1928586] Re: Desktop icons disappearing
[Expired for gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.] ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Expired -- 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/1928586 Title: Desktop icons disappearing Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: This is in Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla. The bug: When connecting to USB tethering and allowing access to the phone's filesystem, Ubuntu's Desktop icons disappear. Steps to reproduce: Connect a phone to the computer via USB tethering (am a bit uneasy about mentioning which model phone it is). Switch on USB tethering and then switch off USB tethering in the phone's Mobile hotspot and tethering options. The phones screen will popup a dialog box asking "Allow access to phone data?" (which is a way to give the computer access to the phone's filesystem). You can click either "Allow" or "Deny". When either "Allow" or "Deny" is selected, the Desktop icons on Ubuntu disappear. When USB tethering is switched back on, the Desktop icons reappear. I've attached a video of the phenomenon. The video starts with USB tethering being switched on, which is why you can see the desktop icons. Then when USB tethering is switched off and "Allow" is clicked on the phone, the icons disappear and then they reappear when USB tethering is switched on again. This bug is probably related to bugs #1928206 and #1928213, which indicate that there are some inconsistencies with how the Nautilus Desktop works with respect to a Nautilus window.

No. It's not bug 1812883. I've actually described in detail what happens. The desktop icons aren't flashing. They disappear and stay invisible until I reactivate USB tethering. Let me describe the steps again: Step 1. Desktop icons are visible. Step 2. I connect my phone to the PC. Desktop icons are still visible. At this point, there's a dialog box on the phone's screen, asking "Allow access to phones data?". Options for me are to click "Allow" or "Deny". Step 3. Whether I click Allow or Deny, the Desktop icons disappear. Step 4. I activate USB tethering, and the Desktop icons appear. Step 5. I deactivate USB tethering, and the Desktop icons are still visible. The phone is again asking the Allow/Deny question. Step 6. Goto Step 3. -- 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/1928586 Title: Desktop icons disappearing Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is in Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla.

Yeah it sounds like this should be grouped into bug 1812883. ** Tags added: groovy -- 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/1928586 Title: Desktop icons disappearing Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is in Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla.

Thank you for your bug report, that's a gnome-shell-extension-desktop- icons issue. Are the icons coming back directly or what do you do to get them?
