As of recently I can no longer see Desktop icons. I think this is the same problem as in Ubuntu 22.04 desktop icons disappeared, but it wasn't answered there. Note that the desktop folder still exists.
Things I've tried:
- Looking in settings
- Gnome Tweaks
- Gnome Extensions
but no luck so far.
EDIT: more details:
The folder ~/Desktop still exists but my desktop is blanklike I just see the wall paper, none of the files / folders in the ~/Desktop folder
Maybe useful to know:gnome-extensions list output: ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com
And to clarify, I used to see applications and files and folders show up on the Desktop
More things I tried:gnome-extensions install ding@rastersoft.com
Error opening file /home/alek/dropbox/ding@rastersoft.com: No such file or directory
gnome-extensions enable ding@rastersoft.com
Extension “ding@rastersoft.com” does not exist
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng is already the newest version (43-2ubuntu1).
