How do i create/save something on Desktop in openSUSE


So im kinda new to this. I have a new Virtual Machine openSUSE Leap, downloaded some python stuff and pgAdmin4 but i dont think it's relevant.

I've downloaded a folder that i need to be displayed on desktop. Saved it in /home/geeko/Desktop but it didn't display it. Tried to move it simply using my mouse - didn't work. Moved it by "mv" comand to root desktop - still isn't working. Tried both /usr/shared and /usr/shared/applications but it didn't change anything


Solution

  • No Problem. Try this: Open a Terminal and...

    cd Desktop
    ln -sfv /Path/to/your/folder NameOnDesktop
    

    And then look at the Desktop what you have done.

    PS: I am using KNOPPIX 8.6 with LXDE on a Keydrive
