自从我刚刚安装 Ubuntu 18.04（大约一个月前）以来，桌面图标（垃圾图标除外）的位置从未在会话之间被记住过。它们总是以相同的顺序（而不是我放置它们的顺序）垂直对齐地重新出现在屏幕左侧。我尝试过打开和关闭“保持对齐”。
提出的解决方案这里看起来相当激进，而且答案没有被标记为已接受。它们指的是较旧的版本。我也不希望完全重置桌面，因为我已经进行了其他希望保留的配置更改。
有没有办法让 Ubuntu 记住桌面图标的位置，而不做任何影响桌面其他部分的事情？

答案1
记录桌面图标位置的文件可能由于权限错误而无法修改。
要识别此类文件，请运行find . '!' -user $USER。
在您的情况下，输出包括~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home。将此文件的所有权更改为您应该可以解决您的问题。
一般情况下，您的家文件夹应归根。
答案2
Ubuntu 18.04
当您以 root 身份使用 nautilus 浏览时，可能会（毫无理由地）由于所有权错误而无法修改记录桌面图标位置的文件。例如，当您想复制主文件夹中的隐藏文件以供新用户保留配置时，或者当您想通过复制其中的一些主文件夹来构建 /etc/skel 文件夹时，就会发生这种情况。导致此行为的相关文件是主文件夹中隐藏的 .local 目录中的“home”，该文件的所有权为错误（root）。
您可以使用以下命令通过将所有权改回您的用户名并最终将文件权限改回来解决此问题：
sudo chmod $USER ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home
sudo chmod 755 ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/homea
不要更改 .local 文件夹中所有文件的所有权，因为其中一些文件（非常少）必须保持 root 所有权。不建议以 root 身份使用 nautilus 或其他文件管理器，而应使用 bash 终端，尽管有时它确实很实用。
