[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1453655] Re: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder
Same issue in 17.04 (a clean install). Do not have this problem with the 16.04 LTS release I have running on another computer. Would greatly appreciate a fix for this, have been living with it now for 6 months and, although no data is lost, it is REALLY annoying and gives an impression of "flakiness". Only affects the desktop if I access the dropbox folders from the icon in the system tray, if I go there through the file manager all works ok. -- 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/1453655 Title: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nautilus source package in Vivid: Fix Released Status in nautilus source package in Wily: Fix Released Bug description: I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1453655] Re: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder
I have very recently made a clean install of 16.04LTS with what appears to be the exact same issue and also seems related to Dropbox. Open Dropbox folder and desktop icons disappear. They are still in the System generated Desktop folder in Home but if I attempt to move them to the desktop the action will not be allowed. The only solution is as stated before, to log out then back in. Just wondering if the fix in 15.0 has been migrated to 16.04 for fixes and updates? I used Synaptic to see if the 15.0 fix was there under Pre- Release for Nautilus but I don't see anything that looks correct.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1453655] Re: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder
The command is nautilus $HOME/Dropbox, not $HOME/Dropbox. And nevermind, I've figured it out. Dropbox launches nautilus using nautilus --no-desktop $HOME/Dropbox, which, in Ubuntu 15.04, turns off the desktop icon rendering. I think this is solely a bug in nautilus, because as far as I know, --no-desktop was supposed to just tell nautilus not to render the desktop *only* while launching. -- 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/1453655 Title: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years.
