Mounted drive icons missing on resume

General Help
1

I have it set to show mounted drives on the desktop.

They used to always be there, now when the PC wakes from suspend it takes a few minutes before they appear.

One is a windows smb share from the LAN, the other is a NTFS formatted local HDD. Both automount on startup via the fstab.

While the desktop shorcuts are mssing I can still access the folders through files.

Notes:

I have Files and Nemo installed. Each has it strengths and I use both.

I just upgraded to 18.1 core from 17.2 core. It went really smooth, I only had to set the sound back to hdmi.

This has been happening for awhile, aftet the last big update to 17.2 i believe, the upgrade to 18.1 hasn't changed it.

I would take a look here and also the link in it to 22.04. I know 18 is based on 24.04, but you never know:

In fact suspend mode in Linux have some problems (it broke my wifi since I installed Linux on my laptop), so I disable it and just use blank screen in power settings and all is fine.
You can do this

sudo nano /etc/systemd/sleep.conf

change the content file like this

[Sleep]
AllowSuspend=no
AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no

sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

So give a try and tell us if it fix your problem...
