[Bug 1995199] Re: Renaming home folders corrupts side panel behavior
Thank you for the description. I use Wayland, tried to rename "Downloads". By the way, when renaming "Downloads" at side panel to longer string then side panel extends appropriately. But panel's width can not be changed and folder names do not wrap, it looks too wide. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2022-11-04 15-42-44.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1995199/+attachment/5629159/+files/Screenshot%20from%202022-11-04%2015-42-44.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1995199 Title: Renaming home folders corrupts side panel behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1995199/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1995199] Re: Renaming home folders corrupts side panel behavior
Well renaming $HOME is questionable, at least, depending on how you made it.
And the names of usual folders inside $HOME follow some conventions ( XDG,
freedesktop ) which are expected by your desktop environment and system.
It's probably your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file which has been emptied
after such renaming.
By default it looks like :
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Download"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
If you only renamed the $HOME folder then you'll have to replace
$HOME/
by
/home/new_name_for_user/
If you also renamed one or all of those 8 usual and conventional folders,
you'll have to replace
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
by
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="/home/new_name_for_user/new_name_for_desktop"
and for each renamed folder.
This mechanic is handled at start of session by xdg-user-dirs / xdg-
user-dirs-gtk
Folder for $HOME is expected to be the user's name, in lower case
letters, as given by command
id
The matching of user's name + « real » name + other info about one user
+ place for his $HOME + uid + primary gid is stored into the file
/etc/passwd you may look at it using
grep -E :[0-9]{4}: /etc/passwd
which will show you only the « human » users on your system ( those with
uid ≥ 1000 )
