Ok, after reading the bug a second time, I realize I misread the first time.
Your problem is that you don't have any icons on the desktop, not that only the 'Computer' icon is missing. For the Ubuntu GNOME Remix, the gsettings org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons is set to false. Set it to true. It is set to true if you are using the standard Ubuntu or if you install ubuntu-settings (which will also change the default theme and some other Ubuntu tweaks). Alternatively, you can use GNOME Tweak Tool to enable "Have file manager handle the desktop." ( I reported the confusing GNOME Tweak Tool behavior in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/656977 ) The GNOME developers and designers aren't interested in bringing back desktop icons by default. However, the 'Computer' icon setting *has* been removed in Nautilus 3.6 which is included in Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094008 Title: Computer Icon not Visible on Desktop after Update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1094008/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
