[Bug 1722688] Re: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1710931 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710931 Wayland is the architecture we want to use going into the future. Wayland is also still relatively new compared to X11 (which is almost 30 years older). So there's a lot of catching up to do in the various software ecosystems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722688 Title: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.

[Bug 1722688] Re: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1710931 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710931 I figured it was a GNOME design choice. That is interesting. In general, Wayland seems to be a great source of pain and breakage. Does it have any large advantages? So far, I've only experienced more pain in Wayland than joy, but maybe there are some large advantages that are invisible to regular users like me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722688 Title: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1710931 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710931 It's one of those Gnome design choices about cleanliness and minimalism. It appears Ubuntu in general disagrees with that choice so 17.10 enables the desktop icons. Interestingly nautilus-desktop is an X app (running through Xwayland). It's the only part of the desktop that's not native Wayland. So if it sticks around someone will need to make nautilus-desktop able to run under Wayland natively. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722688 Title: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1710931 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710931 That was it Daniel. Thank you. Quite bizarre to disable desktop by default.

[Bug 1722688] Re: GNOME desktop isn't a desktop.
Files and folders on the desktop ('nautilus-desktop') is enabled by
default in Ubuntu 17.10.
Your system might have got it disabled for some reason, or you might be
using the default Gnome theme where it's probably still disabled by
default. Either way, the setting you want is:
Gnome Tweak Tool > Desktop > Icons on Desktop > Show Icons = ON
As for Ctrl+N, that's a separate bug
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786908. Although Ctrl+Shift+N
works already.
Please enable the above setting and let us know if the problem is
resolved, or if there might be some other problem preventing 'nautilus-
desktop' from running on your system.
