Public bug reported: In 14.04 and 16.04, as desktop lockdown ("kiosk mode") we disabled the gsetting "org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons". Nautilus then disabled the context menu when a user right clicks on the background and didn't show any icons, but still showed the wallpaper - nice! I tested this with nautilus 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu6 and earlier.
In 18.04 (tested version 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4), this flag is not honored, any more. After source code inspection, I saw, the nautilus-desktop is always started in mode "--forced" which ignores this flag, completely. Then I tried to remove the option "--forced" from nautilus- classic.desktop, but nautilus-desktop didn't start, the whole session didn't start (I think this is lp bug #1633826). What can I do to get the desktop locking, again? Thanks for your help. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1771511 Title: Desktop lockdown vanished To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1771511/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
