Public bug reported: Using the procedure here = https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-create-desktop-shortcut-launcher-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux
AND OTHERWISE I have successfully created launchable desktop app shortcuts. But they stop working: (1) no launch; (2) no right click context to make launchable; and (3) no app icon. They can even remain in ~/Desktop but disappear from the desktop view. A logout kills them. Creating another new launcher is successful and peculiarly triggers the temporary reactivation of all the others. But euphoria soon dies as they all revert to inertia later. My work around at present is to install PCManFM 1.3.1. Navigating to ~/Desktop on PCManFM, my Nautilus created launchers are all visible, launchable and have the usual colourful app icon features. But they remain inert in Nautilus. My Gnome version is: 3.36.1 ** 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/1878392 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa desktop launchers not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1878392/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
