No desktop icons on Plasma 5?

Question

I just installed Plasma desktop on my Ubuntu 15.10 machine.The installation went fine but I think something was not installed properly.No desktop icons are appearing.Also, I read somewhere that I have to enable folder view from desktop settings->layout but there is no layout option in desktop settings.Please help me out. P.S:when I log out or shut down, a brief flash of desktop with all icons appears.

Solution

There is desktop settings and system settings, you seem to be in system settings.

To get to desktop settings, right click the desktop and then desktop settings then choose Layout.

I don't think any thing is wrong with the install, folder view is a widget and off by default.
