Position of the icons on the desktop not stored

If one day all your icons are always on the left side of the desktop and their position is not remembered between the sessions: check the permissions and make a correct setting:

$ find . '!' -user $USER              and look if "./.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home" is present into the list of files not owned by you
$ ls -al ./.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home   will show who is the owner (generally this is "root")
$ sudo chown -R your_user_name:the_group .local/share/gvfs-metadata/home   

Logout and re-login: the problem should be gone.

Remote Desktop

Via RDP
Install and run the script given here: http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=11868
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/xrdp too.

Run a script at startup

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-run-script-on-startup-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-server-desktop

$ sudo cat /usr/local/bin/wol-omv.sh 
#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/etherwake -i enp34s0 00:11:22:33:44:55
$ sudo cat /etc/systemd/system/wol-omv.service 
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/wol-omv.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
# chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/wol-omv.sh
# chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/wol-omv.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl enable wol-omv.service

Attendre la fin du script

Ceci est un brouillon!

https://trstringer.com/simple-vs-oneshot-systemd-service/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/understanding-and-administering-systemd/

$ sudo cat /etc/systemd/system/le-service.service 
[Unit]
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
TimeoutStartSec=10s
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/le-script.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Il faut un “TimeoutStartSec” et non un “TimeoutStopSec” car “Behavior of oneshot is similar to simple; however, the service manager will consider the unit started after the main process exits.”
