[GNOME] Cannot change user icon in gnome-control-centre - selection choice missing
by deepclutch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55H39)
I have a Devuan Beowulf installation with Gnome-3.32.
If I try changing the icon for users in Gnome-control-centre>users, then the dialog opens but with "open" grayed out. Where to look at?
May be related, nautilus file manager is not showing file previews despite it's enabled in settings.
Here is how it looks like, when I try to change the icon:
