I'm running Linux Debian 9 but I cannot make visible neither the folders and the external devices on the desktop.
The desktop environment is Gnome.
Browsing on Google I did not find anything helpful.
Could you help me solving this?
Thanks all in advance!

Navigate to "System Settings", click on "Desktop", in "Desktop layout" select in the drop down box "Show desktop icons on..." A list should appear, enable/disable desktop icons for : computer, home, trash, mounted volumes, network.
I switched to gnome to verify, in terminal type:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop volumes-visible true
nautilus -q
nautilus
The newest version of gnome, 3.28, doesn't support desktop icons. To get your gnome version:
apt-cache show gnome-shell | grep Version

Hi @ptriciasaur and thanks for the comment, but I do not have the path you suggested in Linux Debian (or, at least, I did not find that). I think that your advice works for Ubuntu only.
