Installing Nautilus Doesn't Create an Icon in the App Drawer

After installing Naultilus via sudo apt install nautilus there's no icon in Phosh's app drawer, whereas this previously used to properly create one (that also worked as expected).

i have a nautilus icon on my laptop (files) and know that other apps like evince show up on the phone right away when instaled. i'll have to check that exact case when near the device.

Could you try to install some other app and see if it appears together with Nautilus after that?

i tried on the phone and it shows up in the files menu immediately @eric.kuzmenko can you reproduce the issue by uninstalling/reinstalling nautilus? If so we'd put phosh into debug mode so we get some more infos.

I think Eric's issue may be one that I've once seen - singular desktop icons are sometimes going missing until you add or remove some other one.

Now you've got me intrigued

The AppListModel is a debounced wrapper around AppInfoMonitor so there are two obvious candidates

• GLib messes up, doesn't notice the change
• My debouncing messes up, hides a real event

If this is really the same issue I've seen, then it's not related to monitoring - the icon was still missing after phosh restart or reboot. Adding a new icon made the missing one appear, but removing that new one made both disappear.

Oh I think there may be some crossed wires here, "missing icon" being a launcher with an empty icon or no launcher?

No launcher.

Very strange, but also very unlikely to be phosh

I tried it again yesterday with a fresh image, ran apt update, apt upgrade, install nautilus and the icon showed up. Does this mean it works sometimes or has the issue been resolved?

Well other than being 99% this isn't a phosh issue we're still not sure what's happening
