Re: [Bug 1825587] Re: non-existent temporary desktop file appears on desktop
I have since moved on to Lu 19.10 where this problem no longer is happening . . . it has other problems, but this desktop file problem is seemingly resolved in 19.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825587 Title: non-existent temporary desktop file appears on desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxqt/+bug/1825587/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1825587]
@Walter: I'm sure you don't need me to confirm, but, just to confirm, your instructions to "reload" the desktop folder does work to clean up the desktop of this non-existent file . . . easy enough to do. As I posted on the bug, I did try to run Alf's series of commands . . . and w/o something from "sources" the whole series of commands "E'd" out . . . . So perhaps some further work has to be done "upstream"??? He seems to be the guy who is part of the team that has responded to this bug . . . in a sense "non-critical" . . . but on the aesthetic level . . . "critical" . . . .

Re: [Bug 1825587] Re: non-existent temporary desktop file appears on desktop
@Alf: Well I guess I got my answer on this, simply running the list of commands essentially "errored out" "sudo apt source libfm-qt Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list @-pc:~$ apt install debhelpers devscripts E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root? @-pc:~$ apt build-dep libfm-qt E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root? @-pc:~$ debuild Command 'debuild' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install devscripts @-pc:~$ apt install ./*deb ^C" I cancelled out of it at the "./*deb" line as all of the previous commands had failed So, apparently I do need to find some "sources" for this to work ??? And install some stuff??

Re: [Bug 1825587] Re: non-existent temporary desktop file appears on desktop
@Alf: OK, thanks for the post on this . . . sorry to ask, but, are you saying to "get the released sources, Put the patch into debian patches . . ." AND THEN run the series of commands you provided?? OR, by running that series of "apt source libfm-qt . . . . to apt install ./*deb" . . . and logging out and in . . . that the released sources and patches will be "sourced" and "installed" . . . ??? Looking at the list of commands it does seem like that is the only sets that are needed???

It's not a show-stopper, so if it requires bureaucratic nightmare to "fix" it in Disco, don't do it . . . .
