1What is the problem ? Describe what you are doing and what results / errors you get. Where are you trying to paste to ? What are the access-rights and ownership at that directory / file – Soren A Mar 15 '22 at 08:42

1Does this answer your question? Basic desktop actions are not available on Ubuntu 20.04 – pLumo Jun 18 '23 at 13:08

Open terminal, navigate to ~ by using cd ~. From here, use the terminal command ls -lsa.
In the output, verify that your permissions for Desktop appear as drwxr-xr-x. For example, mine looks like this: 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 username username 4096 Mar 13 22:02 Desktop
If the permissions are not as above, type chmod 755 /Desktop/. This should change the permissions on your Desktop to allow you to read/write/execute.
