Shouldn't be an issue with Intrepid/KDE4. How can this bug be closed if it concerns the gutsy - hardy upgrade where it still not fixed? Nobody was talking about Intredpid. -- Desktop displays root directory (/) after upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174532 You

Bugs are fixed in Intrepid. (Or the development series in general.) If they qualify for an SRU, they will be backported to whatever series needs a fix. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) Since the fix in this case is using KDE4 which doesn't have this problem, the fix for this

Using KDE4 isn't an option in the specified case, as it's not possible to upgrade to it during a gutsy-hardy upgrade. Therefor, the bug shouldn't be marked fixed, but marked WONTFIX, as all efforts seem to go to intrepid instead. In which case it's a known error that should be included in the

OK, running xdg-user-dirs didn't fix it for me at first, came back with an error ('Can't write'). Turned out that somehow ~/.config was owned by root. chown fixed that, then running xdg-user-dirs and log-out/log-in, and everything works now. -- Desktop displays root directory (/) after upgrade

Daniel, I can't exactly remember the contents of ~/.config/user- dirs.dirs, but I tried to correct the information there and it had no influence. xdg-user-dirs was not installed by default. it rewrote user- dirs.dirs to this: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=$HOME/Desktop XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=$HOME/Desktop

Markus, what was the contents of XDG_DESKTOP_DIR in that file, when you removed it, and what is it now? Wasn't xdg-user-dirs installed? (it should get pulled in by kubuntu-desktop). Something maybe is misconfiguring this file in the absence of xdg-user-dirs? -- Desktop displays root directory

The same thing happened to me after I upgraded KDE to 3.5.9 while still using Kubuntu 7.10 (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-kde-3.5.9/ubuntu gutsy main) The above solution doesn't seem to work for me though: If I use System Settings About Me Paths to update the path, it is written into

Further research finally led to a solution: (found on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=609005page=2) I deleted the XDG_DESKTOP_DIR-line from ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, installed xdg-user-dirs, ran xdg-user-dirs-update, logged out and in again and everything was nice and dandy - again. My

Confirmed. Any small change to enable the apply button is enough to trigger correction. Additionally, When applying the bogus change a diaog comes up asking if I want to move my files in my desktop at / to my new desktop path. Nothing wrong with that except it has two buttons, Move and Cancel. I
