Dear Friends,

I got my Netwalker online and ran the Ubuntu system upgrade. I lost all my Desktop Icons. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Well, when all else fails, try rebooting??

Sometimes I find that it helps with various issues...

Just a thought....

You're referring to those big icons, right? To be honest, they also disappeared on my device but I can't remember what I did to cause this anymore. Now, I have no icons except for storage devices, if any are available.

(I hated those big icons anyway so I'm fine with that.)

Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance.

Not owning one I do not know what icons are in question.

But if they are just the default ubuntu ones, you can fix those by running gconf-editor and in the apps \ nautilus \ desktop area check whatever items you want visible.
