View Full Version : [SOLVED] Desktop - No launchers present, right click does nothing?

OS: Lucid

Symptoms: Launchers are in Desktop folder, but they are not on the desktop. Also, when I "right click" on desktop, nothing happens (no pop up menus). Attempts to add new launchers to desktop (via "add launcher to desktop" or "click-n-drag") are not successful. Symptoms the same on both monitors.

Possible Cause: I just completed a problematic install of 2nd monitor (NVidia X Server). Currently running in TwinView. After install was completed I noticed launchers were missing.

Info: Desktop folder is owned (RW) & group (R) to my user, execute is enabled, and Others is R, as are all files in folder.

I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting?

Ok, Found another post here "RC Frozen desktop. Can't right-click"..

It said to go into xorg.conf, under "Screen" and add
OPTION "AddARGBGLSVisuals" "True"
So I did, and things are back to the way they should be.

Looks like a problem with the NVidia Server. Now that I look back at my previous version of Xorg.conf I see that this option was in that file.

So, Issue is resolved.
