 |

Hello,
Just updated to latest stable xfce (4.20) and now only icons are showing up on my desktop. The text is missing so I can't identify which volume I'm dealing with.

I'm not sure which xfce package is at fault too.
Please help, thanks.

In xfdesktop-settings -> desktop icons -> appearance -> font size
I unchecked then checked the font size option and set the font size to 10 then 12 again.
It worked but did not survive a logout / login.
Otherwise, if font size box (in xfdesktop-settings) is unchecked then no issue, text under icons is showing up, including after logout / login.
Not perfect but at least I can identify my volumes until it is fixed. |

Also noticed that filesystem inside img file (mounted with loop) doesn't appear on desktop either. Not even the icon.
Previously (with xfdesktop 4.18 )
Here I have a simple exfat filesystem in "data.img"
| Code: | sudo kpartx -v -a data.img
add map loop0p1 (254:10): 0 419424256 linear 7:0 2048 |
then a greyed out icon (unmounted file system) shows up on the desktop. Then I double click on it to mount it.
Now nothing shows up on the desktop. (it appears in thunar though so I can mount it without issue, I can of course mount it with "mount" too but I like my icons  )
Very annoying bug...
Can any xfce user reproduce this ? It would be very appreciated.
edit: Looks similar to https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/-/issues/376 (edit: tried the patch in the bug report, still no icon  )
Otherwise usb key or hdd shows up so I don't know what is the issue here. |

Another day, another bug... still xfdesktop.
Now the "mounted" icon isn't removed from the desktop when some external volume is unmounted.
It happens with external hdd, usb key but not everytime so not sure how to report that..
Only way to clean the mess is to logout / login. |
