Author Topic: no ~/Desktop directory??? (Read 3410 times)

This is weird as poop. Last install, right off the bat, there was a /home/deadly7/Desltop/ directory (~/Desktop)
Today, I reinstalled Slackware, opened up Bash
cd ~/Desktop
/home/deadly7/Desktop not found.

Is that normal? I was going to mkdir a desktop folder, but didn't know if that was smart or not because there were other folders there last time, too.

Which window manager? WM didn't make a Desktop dir, but KDE did. I don't know about the others.

XFCE.
I tried booting into KDE cause that's what I thought, too, but I got a problem with kdeinit.

md ~/Desktop

Not hard.

There were other folders inside ~/Desktop last time. They might have just been KDE things.

LoL, kdeinit: cannot initialize (directory does not exist: /home/deadly7/Desktop)

Yeah, right; Linux is never that detailed in its error messages.
