Applications Icons Missing after 20.04 update
I just applied the recommended updates to my Ubuntu 20.04 (amd64) system. After the reboot I am missing all my application icons that were on my desktop (usually on the left side of the primary display). Is there a setting that I need to change?
Solution 1:
Ubuntu 20.04 has the desktop function removed from Nautilus. There is a gnome-shell extension to restore desktop icons
