Some desktop icons disappear
Icons are missing most times for me. Logging out and back in always
fixes it, as well as Alt+F2 -> 'r', but it's annoying. It might be a
race condition since it seems to only happen on slow computers and on
first boot (when the computer is under load, which makes it slower).

I'm still affected by this. Only happens in one computer, a rather slow
one with a spinning hard drive. Is there a fix/workaround?

Just FYI for anyone that stumbles upon this thread. In Ubuntu 20.04, if
you want to work around the issue for now it can be done by placing your
preferred desktop files in the home (or any other) folder and just
placing link files to those files on your desktop. When you do this you
can still
Good news, then. Also, this means that, maybe, now I can reproduce the
bug.

OK, made more progress.
First, I was finally able to reproduce the issue in the new account.
For my initial test I just created 4 or 5 very small text files. On my
regular desktop I have a much larger text file that is 39kb with 1100+
lines. The size of the file is what makes it break, which
AFAIK, if you launch a gnome session, and then you return to the ubuntu
session, you shouldn't lost your configuration. So maybe you can do a
test in the gnome shell session to check if the patch works, thus
allowing canonical to integrate it, but use the ubuntu session for your
day-to-day work.
Sergio,
So... I think I followed your last comment and did some more research..
If I can try to summarize briefly, what your saying is that to
understand if your new patch works (which I believe is the goal so that
ultimately it might be moved forward), we need to prove that it solves
our issue.
Yes, I understand. But it seems that the ubuntu session blocks new
versions from extensions.gnome.org. AFAIK, they did that to avoid a new
version from the repository to overwrite the official, tested one. So it
seems that you will need to use the gnome shell session instead. But the
other
I am not sure I am following. To be clearer, I have multiple other
extensions installed and they all work fine... specifically unite,
walkpaper, user themes and workspace indicator. It is just the desktop
icons one that I can't install or work with. I do already have gnome-
shell-extensions
Oh, ok... Now I understand. You simply can't install the official desktop
icons in the Ubuntu session. You must install gnome-session, choose gnome
shell session instead of Ubuntu session when logging, and there you can use
the extensions.
Of course, you may want to also install dash-to-dock,
I rebooted multiple times and no luck.
Here are the steps I followed :
- Used sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons to uninstall
- Deleted the folder $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-
icons@csoriano
- Rebooted and verified it is gone all together from tweaks
-
Don't forget to exit and enter again from gnome shell

Nevermind, I figured out its just sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-
desktop-icons.
I did that and its completely gone from /usr now. However, I no longer
have the extension at all. I reran the steps to install the patch
version and I don't see the extension, so I must be missing a step
The package is "gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons"

How do you uninstall it properly? I enabled it through the
https://extensions.gnome.org/ page, but there is not an uninstall option
there. It does not show up as an installed .deb in ubuntu software, so
I am assuming we need to do a sudo apt remove, but not sure what package
is called

That's the problem: the package isn't installed in the local folder, but in
/usr. You must uninstall it.

Your guess is correct. The problem is that the line numbers in your log
doesn't match my line numbers... Did you uninstall the gnome-shell-
extensions-desktop-icons.deb package before installing the branch from
gitlab?

My guess. “/home/ion420/Desktop/.goutputstream-0LONR0” is a temporary
file, probably the editor is saving a new file to then move over the
original one when you save. The extension notices the new file but when
trying to get more info about it, it's gone (race condition). It
probably does not
Sure, it must be some sort of interaction or missing dependency because I get
it every single time I save a file that is on the desktop. I reproduced the
error then immediately pulled the tail of the log you proposed. I do see a
javascript error related to this extension...

I tried that, but I'm unable to reproduce that bug.
Can you check if there is any error message in the gnome shell logs?
(you can see them from a terminal with "sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-

to just download the new file desktopManager.js from your link and then
replaced the file in the path "/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
