One of the wallpapers has XFCE on it, but I didn’t change my desktop environment. Also of note, when I open the terminal it doesn’t look the same as it used to. Instead of the dark purple window it’s a black window with white text and the window’s icon is a red “X” with a dark blue “T” on it.

This is a headless machine and I connect to it through remote-desktop.

If I go through the applications menu (manually clicking, the super key does nothing and my keyboard does not have a “Fn” key) and go to settings I get the window on the left. Changing the settings in this window does nothing. Right clicking the desktop and clicking “desktop settings” I get the window on the right. This window correctly changes the wallpaper.

When I open the home folder I get Thunar.

My guess is there are two desktop environments competing or something right now? How can I fix this?

Also, weirdly, if I click my name in the upper right I can “lock screen” and “log out…” but I can’t “switch user,” “suspend,” or “shut down.”

Thank you in advance for any help.

    Get out with this noise. This is the same nonsense as “just install Linux” to a person with a Windows problem.

        Wait you thought that meme was factual? 🫨 Even OP themselves said in that thread it was a joke he made to troll Canonical haters. [email protected] is rarely factual.

          Whether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.

      Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?

      Please kindly fuck off.
