I installed Ubuntu 22.04, and I noticed that the 'Desktop' is missing from the Nautilus side bar: enter image description here

I would like to insert "Desktop" bookmark between "Home" and "Documents" as it used to be in previous Ubuntu LTS versions:

How can I achieve this?

Note: I want the bookmark to be in the same location it used to be, i.e. not at the bottom, after the separator.

Just drag your Desktop folder into the nautilus sidebar, You will see a button named 'New Bookmark'. Then place the folder there, and you will see Desktop has been added to the nautilus sidebar.

    Hm, kind of works. But I cannot move it freely, e.g. between Downloads and Home. It remains a 2nd class bookmark – crusy Aug 30 '22 at 09:36

Or just use Ubuntu on Xorg session instead of default Ubuntu ( which is Wayland ).

For me it's a bug → https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/198646

As @coeur-noir mentioned, this seems to be a bug either of wayland or xorg. Here are two screenshot of nautilus places in the same computer, one on xorg and the other on wayland.

The link that @coeur-noir sent for bugs seems not related to this issue. I tried to find another bug report but I could not. Did I miss something or should we report this bug?

  • See here, here, here, here, here... I reverted my box to xorg, so I can also restart the desktop manager. If this nonsense continues, I'm seriously thinking to switch to another distro. – Momo May 29 '23 at 20:55
