After removing debain package, can't go back to previous settings

[fizyk]

I installed version 2.0.0 debian package on Ubuntu 17.04. But since I'm suing dual monitor set up, it's pretty unuaseble. However after uninstalling komorebi, I can't change wallpaper back, can't open any context menu on the desktop, or see files I had there in any other way than accessing through terminal or nautilus.

Hi, I have the same problem. After uninstalling Komorebi all my desktop icons and files disappeared (but they are accessible through DoubleCommander or Nemo). Similarly as fizyk, I cant open context menu on the desktop... Can you please help me go back to previous state (before installing Komorebi)? I am using Linux Mint 18.2 64 bit. Thanks

Same here. The problem starts after uninstalling the Komorebi. No desktop icons. OS freezes when I try to minimize any running application. This is a trap. Now I am googling my a** around to restore unity desktop to its default condition. I tried this app because it was posted on omgubuntu blog. Again I am saying it's a badly written application.

I am having the same issue on a 4 monitor setup. My wallpaper is now plain black, and I can't seem to change it no matter what I do.

Same here on Linux Mint 18.2 64bits. I can still change the wallpaper but there are no icons appearing (despite changing that settings on/off in Mint and restarting Cinnamon) and no desktop context menu working either.

Old issue apparently... #13

Fix for Cinnamon/Nemo: gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true Fix for Gnome: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

Would be great if that was automatically being done during installation ;)

@hugus777 thanks for the info. I managed to get it work :) In terminal I used sudo before the command and then logged out and logged in. And it works ;)

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Unfortunately gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true gives me this error:

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

What should I do?

[tothpsk]

@towfiqpiash have you tried elevated privileges? Try to type sudo before the command itself

[mhalano]

@tothpsk No need for sudo here. Gsettings is for user-wide configurations, not system-wide configurations. Also Gsettings runs as user process, so no need to become root.

@hugus thanks . It worked for me. At first the code snippet as well as adding sudo before the code didn't work. Then I tried restarting my laptop and then the desktop worked perfectly normal after that

So people out there who are not able to get the desktop icons back , just restrat your pc
