Title: no ~/Desktop directory???
Post by: deadly7 on June 18, 2006, 03:42:03 pm

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.

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.
