I have installed Gnome Desktop (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop) recently after that I cannot change wallpaper of Ubuntu desktop and also I cannot see any files on desktop.
I am on Ubuntu 15.04

  • This may sound strange, but try and start nautilus. Don't use a terminal. – Byte Commander Oct 05 '15 at 20:33
  • @ByteCommander I am using nautilus, it is working fine – Alex Jones Oct 05 '15 at 21:14
  • So it solved the question? It seems that a part of nautilus that stays active in the background as daemon is responsible for the desktop icons and probably more. So whenever I see no desktop icons, I try to restart Nautilus as a first step. And usually that helps. If it helped you too, please tell me and I'll write it as answer. Your last comment is not totally clear... – Byte Commander Oct 06 '15 at 07:57

Since after installation of Gnome Desktop I had this problem, I have removed Gnome Desktop

sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop
sudo systemctl reboot
