### CORRECTED COMMENT!! ###

Yes, it all looks strange, but that's the only way it works, I did it exactly 
like that myself.
Thanks again to the Author Sergio Costas @~rastersoft-gmail.

#
### REMOVE ###
#

rm -rf /home/YOUR_NAME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/d...@rastersoft.com
sudo apt remove --purge gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng
sudo rm -R /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/d...@rastersoft.com
sudo apt autoremove

#
### INSTALL ###
#

a) download the package https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng from 
gitlab as .zip
b) unzip desktop-icons-ng-master.zip
c) Open the desktop-icons-ng-master folder in the terminal
d) sudo apt install meson (FOR UBUNTU NOT ON-BOARD)

1.) meson setup --prefix=/usr .build
2.) ninja -C .build
3.) sudo ninja -C .build install
## log out and log in again
4.) sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng (STANDARD PACKAGE 
FROM UBUNTU)

EVERYTHING IS BACK BUT prefs.js & /app/createThumbnail.js OUTDATED &
BROKEN

1.) download 
https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/blob/master/prefs.js?ref_type=heads
2.) download 
https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/blob/master/app/createThumbnail.js?ref_type=heads
3.) sudo cp /home/YOUR_NAME/Desktop/prefs.js 
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/d...@rastersoft.com/prefs.js
4.) sudo cp /home/YOUR_NAME/Desktop/createThumbnail.js 
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/d...@rastersoft.com/app/createThumbnail.js

NOW EVERYTHING IS REPAIRED AND WORKING AGAIN.

Unfortunately, the package is still broken under Ubuntu 24.10, so that
currently only this solution works, because you cannot update the
extension via extensions.gnome.org, as it is declared as a system
extension.
