I work for a company that has hundreds of Linux systems out in the field, all Ubuntu 16.04.
Occasionally, a remote Teamview session shows a desktop without the normal taskbar.
The problem has been a corrupt dconf/user file; easy enough to fix.
The corruption is actually the desktop-metadata file from Caja (1.12.7) .
We have a support team that uses both Teamviewer and Anydesk. For some reason, when either are
used, both the dconf/user and caja/desktop-medata files change their timestamp. I haven't found any changes to the files though.
I don't know how it would be possible, but it feels like somehow, the contents of the desktop-metadata file are being saved to the dconf/user file.
How could that happen?
