LMC 19 x64 - Desktop icons reset to normal size after Reboot/Restart

Post by yesdrs13 »

Hi, I'm having an issue with Cinnamon 19 x64 in which when I resize the desktop icons to 'smaller' and reboot, the icons are back to normal size again. Not a big problem (only 2 clicks to resize again), but has anyone experienced this? I've looked around the forum and found nothing similar to this issue.

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks! 8)

Check for file ownership issues in your home folder.

Run this command in your terminal

find $HOME ! -user $USER

If it does produce output please post that back in between [code][/code] tags.

If there is output please also run this command to fix any ownership issues

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME

if that doesn't help report back the output of cat ~/.config/nemo/desktop-metadata before and after resizing and then again after a reboot.
