[Bug 2064849] Re: Ubuntu 24.04 desktop icons ng image thumbnails no longer displayed
### UPDATED HOW-TO ### The whole thing looks a bit confusing at first glance, but this is how it works (self tested). First you have to remove everything from this extension completely and then recompile the extension with meson and finally “install over” the standard Ubuntu package, because with the meson method, optional packages are not installed, but they are absolutely necessary. To simplify, download all to your Desktop, but you can also use another folder too, then you need to change the follow code lines to your needs. # ### REMOVE ### # rm -R /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] sudo apt remove --purge gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng sudo rm -R /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] sudo apt autoremove # ### REINSTALL ### # a) sudo apt install meson (OPTIONAL PACKAGE) b) download the "Desktop Icons NG (DING)" Package https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng from gitlab as .zip c) unpack desktop-icons-ng-master.zip d) launch the desktop-icons-ng-master folder in the terminal ### THEN IN THIS TERMINAL ### 1.) meson setup --prefix=/usr .build 2.) ninja -C .build 3.) sudo ninja -C .build install ### !!! NOW !!! log out and log in as the same user again ### 4.) sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng (STANDARD UBUNTU PACKAGE) EVERYTHING IS BACK, BUT prefs.js & /app/createThumbnail.js ARE OUTDATED & BROKEN, BECAUSE THESE FILES ARE ALREADY OUTDATED / BROKEN IN THE UBUNTU STANDARD PACKAGE 1.) download https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/blob/master/prefs.js?ref_type=heads 2.) download https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/blob/master/app/createThumbnail.js?ref_type=heads ### move these downloaded .js files now ### 1.) sudo mv /home/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/prefs.js /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/prefs.js 2.) sudo mv /home/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/createThumbnail.js /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/app/createThumbnail.js NOW EVERYTHING IS FIXED AND 100% WORKING AGAIN.

### CORRECTED COMMENT!! ### Yes, it all looks strange, but that's the only way it works, I did it exactly like that myself.

Ubuntu can not ship an unconfined bwrap profile, doing so allows a trivial by-pass of the unprivileged user namespace restrictions.

It is an apparmor problem: user namespaces were disabled, and the thumbnail API requires them because it uses bwrap to execute the thumbnailers.
