After upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04 the Desktop does not display any icons shown on 16.04.
Description:
Now that 18.04 is installed I can access all the desktop saved files in Nautilus. But the physical desktop will not show anything even the trash bin. Although the launch bar is working and I can click left to settings and change the Desktop background, there are no copy, paste & new folder option.
I tried TWEAKS and Dconf Editor (show desktop icons).
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons
true
Yes "ll ~/Desktop" I can see all my desktop files.

ll ~/Desktop
?~/Desktop
folder doesn't contain any icons. Update your question with the output fromll ~/Desktop/"Desktop folder"
ll ~/Desktop
should show nox
in the first 10 characters. After using every third character should bex
? You might need to reboot/relogin after running the command though.
