 |
|
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. |
