Cinnamon Not Working Desktop Menu and Show Icon

NOC · 2014-11-24 18:40:06

Hi, I' using cinnamon desktop environment, not working desktop menu (right-click) and not show desktop icon.

How can I solve it?

Thanks.

Run

cinnamon-settings

Go to Desktop and enable it there.

Note: It appears you need to have "Show Desktop Icons" ticked to be able to have the right click menu on the Desktop.

Hi clfarron4, Not work.

What exactly doesn't work? Telling me it doesn't work means nothing when you don't tell me what the "it" is.

Only other thing I can suggest is that you install dconf, run dconf-editor, navigate to org.nemo.desktop and select the tick boxes for the show-desktop-icons and the icons you desire.

Hmm... How very odd... They're working on my fresh installation...

Is there anything in your system journal or the Cinnamon Looking Glass about this?

unfortunately this is bad issue.

OK, have you had a look at the system journal to see if it says anything that might be of use?

There should be a cinnamon.log. Try

$ locate *cinnamon*.log

Not have this file.

I have no idea what's going on here.

Did you always have this problem OR did it start after a package upgrade?

OK, have you looked at the logs to see what packages were upgraded, and tried to downgrade packages to work out which one has caused it?

If you have locate try

$ locate *.log |grep -i cinn*

otherwise

$ sudo find / -iname *.log |grep cinn*

But your case should be a recent update.

Hello everyone. I have the same issue,after a system upgrade,approx. 2-3 months ago. Specifically, This happens(in my case) only when I am logged in as root user-everything work fine when logging in as regular user"-. There is no left-click and selection,no right click and also there are no icons on desktop. I tried "show desktop icons" option under System settings -> Desktop,i tried with dconf-editor,also with gsettings. No fix. I also tried gnome 3, and the same happened there. I removed everything that is gnome and cinnamon related,and reinstalled cinnamon. Again nothing. I finally looked at the glass.log and /var/log/pacman.log for anything out of the ordinary but found nothing. Also, I do not have Nautilus installed.
I would appreciate your help very much.
Thank you.
