Another thank you to Emanuele Pane. Just a couple of comments:
a. the sudo command is really only needed on step n. 2 (I try and stay away from sudo and root as much as I can) b. before step 5. you need to "cd glib2.0-2.22.2" to avoid the same error that Stephen Cradock reported c. I also confirm just installing the libglib2.0-0 package suffices A thank you to Stephen Cradock as well for giving me the final push to try this myself, although you could have told us all how you sorted the "tail" error...! Here is the complete Emanuele Pane's procedure with my minimal addition: 1. apt-get source libglib2.0-0 2. sudo apt-get build-dep libglib2.0-0 3. find the file in the directories you just created, precisely look for: gio/glocalfileinfo.c 4. modify the file following Takehiko's instructions on comment #6, removing the lines with a - and adding the lines fine a +. 5. cd glib2.0-2.22.2 6. dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc 7. install all the .deb packages built (you can just install libglib2.0-0) -- desktop icon position of symbolic links are not restored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
