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.

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
