Bug#860796: Now have a working Destkop
Today I decided to clean out my system as best I could and see if the problem still persisted. I ran: apt-get --purge remove `apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate$ | grep -v "not installed$" | awk -F: '{print $1}'` then repeated ran: apt-get --purge remove `deborphan` apt-get --purge autoremove Until no more packages were removed. I then for some reason needed to re-install the 'gnome' metapackage. Desktop icons now function normally, opening a nautilus window when double clicked. I was not aware of there being any libraries or packages installed from anything other than 'stretch', a list of packages is at the head of this ticket, however something has clearly changed and the system now works. Cheers, Ben

Hi, Some further observations. Here are two procedures on my system. I run these via the gnome-terminal: Procedure 1 === killall -SIGKILL nautilus killall -SIGKILL nautilus-desktop ps -ef | grep naut #confirm that no nautilus processes exist for the current session nautilus & nautilus-desktop & Procedure 2 === killall -SIGKILL nautilus killall -SIGKILL nautilus-desktop ps -ef | grep naut #confirm that no nautilus processes exist for the current session nautilus-desktop & The following results are produced consistently: Results of Procedure 1 == So with Procedure 1, I get a working desktop, with clickable folders opening out in new nautilus windows. I note also that the launching of nautilus-desktop is very fast, almost instant in most cases. Of course with this procedure I also get nautilus launched with an open home folder too due to having run nautilus. The desktops icons are fully clickable though. If I close all the nautilus windows, the clickability of desktop icons is lost. Results of Procedure 2 == With Procedure 2 I get a desktop, but the icons are not clickable at all, they will highlight but never open into nautilus folder displays. Even if I then run 'nautilus' icons are not clickable. Having had a look at this I can do: Procedure 3 === killall -SIGKILL nautilus killall -SIGKILL nautilus-desktop ps -ef | grep naut #confirm that no nautilus processes exist for the current session nautilus --gapplication-service & nautilus-desktop & Results of Procedure 3 == I get a desktop with clickable links _until_ 'nautilus --gapplication-service' terminates (not sure why, it appears to exit cleanly). So, I'm back to thinking that I should have 'nautilus --gapplication-service' running, but somehow managing not to terminate, and that that is all the problem is. Cheers, Ben

There is indeed no shortage of output, but it all seems to be gvfs: none of it is an attempt to send messages to Nautilus. I was expecting to see a message trying to start Nautilus (or more precisely org.freedesktop.FileManager1) and perhaps an error reply. Perhaps it would be more informative if you dbus-monitor'd the first attempt to reproduce this bug after a reboot? Or if not that, then sorry, I've run out of ideas. S I've just tried, the output when running straight after a reboot is identical. Also it appears that /usr/bin/nautilus --gapplication-service does not in itself mean that desktop icons work. I have the service running in a session and still clicking icons does nothing. This might be missing core functionality for a whole load of users I think. I'd really like to know who else is experiencing this. My only two desktop based devices on Stretch have the issue. With my incredibly small sample size this is looking catastrophic for a Stretch roll out. If there's anything I can do to progress this further please let me know. Cheers, Ben

Hi, having investigated further, it appears that "nautilus --gapplication-service" needs to be running in the users session for desktop icons to be responsive. "/usr/bin/nautilus --gapplication-service" appears in the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.FileManager1.service though does not appear to be present automatically in my user session. I can get my icons to work by manually executing "nautilus --gapplication-service" through a shell or via the ALT+F2 dialogue. Cheers, Ben Green
