(SOLVED) Desktop Icons and Folders Not loading After Booting

Post by jackkileen »

And no mouse left or right click response either.
I think the problem might be when I installed and then uninstalled a program called Komorebi (https://itsfoss.com/live-wallpaper-ubuntu-komorebi/).
I can see them in Nemo and can bring them back with

Code: Select all

nemo-desktop
but they disappear again after restart. I uninstalled the Komorebi program from the Menu and also ran

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge komorebi
Here are the results of cat ~/.xsession-errors which shows something about an account "Looking Glass" error among other things...

Code: Select all

cat ~/.xsession-errors

(cinnamon:5646): Cjs-WARNING **: 15:45:43.567: Some code called array.toString() on a Uint8Array instance. Previously this would have interpreted the bytes of the array as a string, but that is nonstandard. In the future this will return the bytes as comma-separated digits. For the time being, the old behavior has been preserved, but please fix your code anyway to explicitly call ByteArray.toString(array). (Note that array.toString() may have been called implicitly.)

ByteArray.toString(array) is *not* backward compatible with previous (< 4.8) versions of Cinnamon. You will have add versioning support to your applet if it does not already have it, so that compatibility can be maintained for users on older Cinnamon versions.

I band-aided this issue by adding

Code: Select all

nemo-desktop
to Menu/Preferences/Startup applications to get the icons/folders back on the Desktop but probably shouldn't consider this as fixed or solved.

Huh? Does that mean your desktop manager is not running upon startup? Very strange. What have you been doing? :)

:) Apparently it isn't after I installed the program in the original post. I think I completely removed it but the Desktop Manger still won't load unless I instruct it too in the Startup Applications.
Should be a way to make the Desktop Manager at startup again without the entry in Startup Applications but I haven't found it yet.

I think the problem might be when I installed and then uninstalled a program called Komorebi

As far as Komorebi and problem solving because of Komorebi is concerned, this forum thread may help you:

viewtopic.php?f=208&t=285803&p=2001260& ... i#p2001260


And about Komorebi in general: search.php?keywords=komorebi

Conclusion: rather not use ...
