You're experiencing this bug in Ubuntu 12.10 because you upgraded to Nautilus 3.6 probably with the GNOME3 PPA.
This feature has been intentionally removed by the Nautilus developers so you'll need to file a bug there if you have reasons why it should not have been dropped. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. ** Package changed: gnome-session (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094008 Title: Computer Icon not Visible on Desktop after Update Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I made some updates to Ubuntu 12.10 and now the Computer icon is no longer visible on Desktop. There is no way of putting it back, I tried with dconf-editor, gconf-editor, gnome-tweak-tool and none of them has the option of making the icon visible. I also tried the command "gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop computer-icon-visible true" which gave me "No such key 'computer-icon-visible'". Also, the right click menu does no longer have "Create new document" as option (only New Folder). How to fix these?
