After formatting and installing Ubuntu 15.10, and gnome-session-flashback, cannot view desktop icons or drag anything to the desktop

  • 772

I installed a brand-new Ubuntu 15.10 (formatted previous installation), and installed gnome-session-flashback (sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback).

I cannot drag anything to the desktop. There is no contextual menu for cut, copy, paste, create empty document, or anything like that when I right-click the desktop. A folder named Escritorio (such name appears when you use spanish language) exists in my user and I can put files there, but it does not get reflected in the screen. Attached image with the problem.

How can I fix that?

Cannot see the IntelliJ icon, nor see any useful contextual menu

    Found solution:

    1. Open dconf-editor (Alt+F2 and write dconf-editor).
    2. Search for org > gnome > desktop > background and check the show-desktop-icons button.
