I'm on an elementaryOS Luna system. Originally it doesn't has the desktop for files, so I modded it with nautilus desktop. All works. I want that nautilus uses the "/home/user/Desktop" - Folder as Desktop, but it shows the content of the folder "/home/user/" as the desktop!
I read that i need to configure the "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" with:
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
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"
Then i restarted nautilus, but the Desktop still shows all folders of "/home/user/"
How can i fix this?
Did you changed the Variable in dconf-editor org-gnome-nautilus-preferences the desktop-is-home-dir?
You need to click once, then click again so that it is not checked but in font size bold.
This should work.!
