~/Desktop directory missing

After system upgrade (total download size was approximately 450 MB) and rebooting computer, ~/Desktop directory missing, so there is no icons on Desktop.
I can create ~/Desktop dir manually and I can copy files to ~/Desktop dir, but there is no difference - I still can't view icons or press right click on mouse on Desktop.
What is wrong?

  • OEL-5 finally released but with many desktop packages missing

    Hi,
    OEL-5 GA has just been released but with many client (desktop) packages missing (as opposed to CENTOS-5 where all RHEL-5 categories are bundled into only one distribution). Namely, three months ago RHEL-5 has been released in three basic categories:
    1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop
    2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform
    The complete souce code for these distributions resides in two Red Hat ftp directories: "5Client" and "5Server" with different contents. It seems that OEL-5 GA includes only packages from "5Server" directory. So, many important applications are missing:
    - openoffice.org
    - kdepim (kmail, knode etc)
    - thunderbird
    - fribidi
    - gaim
    - k3b
    etc.
    I'm little confused, since it would be very stupid to have to download those packages from CENTOS-5 or self-compiling them from Red Hat source rpm download site.
    N.J.

    Thanks a lot Wim.
    Yes I know, the problem didn't exist in RHEL-4/OEL-4, since AS was superset of ES, WS and Desktop. Unfortunatelly, It's not the case in version 5 where client version includes many packages that are missing in server version and vice versa. To avoid complications with new subscription channels, I would suggest the simplest and the most logical solution: all three categories BUNDLED in single distribution OEL-5 GA and only one subscription channel, just like CENTOS-5 (six CD ISOs).

  • Windows 7 Desktop is missing.

    Hello.
    So I built my computer at the end of last year, and my SSD was shipped FIRST, and by mistake, I installed that first, before my secondary drive, which is a 3Tb drive. Fast forward to today. I am running out of space,
    and I come up with an idea, that proves to be a wrong one eventually, I copy pretty much everything from C: to my secondary, and delete the rest from C:. Now, when I try to install something, it's missing. And I further find out that in Windows Explorer, my
    desktop is missing from the left side.
    The only things left in my C: drive are Program Files, then the x86, Users, and Windows. I made a horrible mistake, what should I do?
    BTW, I tried system restore, yet the only time I can restore is today, which isn't any help.

    get another hard disk and install windows clean, then slave the old disk with usb and recover your files

  • How can I get rid of the ~/Desktop/ directory?

    I would like to delete that infernal Desktop/ directory because I don't use it for anything. Everytime I delete it, it gets remade on reboot. I've tried running pacman -Qo on the Desktop/ directory, but pacman only seems to be able to find non-directory files.
    I figure this has to be a common question, but my forum searching skills appear to be lacking because I haven't found anyone who has asked it. All I managed to find was one thread on linuxquestions that was not helpful. Thanks.

    After a bit of googling, I found out that people do have problems with the Desktop folder reapperaing in Gnome (where Nautilus seems to be recreating it...). This link http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2007/11/h … sktop.html could be useful for Gnome ppl.
    As far as KDE4.1 is concerned, it doesn't have any such problem i.e. Desktop folder doesn't reappear after deletion. Additionaly, one can change one's default "Desktop folder" using start-menu > System settings > About me > Paths > Desktop path.
    UPDATE: If your "default download dir" is Desktop, firefox would graciously create one for you if it doesn't exist, as ozar rightly said. This applies to KDE-4.1.

  • Bug: Can't export to desktop directory

    Windows XP SP2,
    Finnish version. Lightroom tells that my desktop directory (and any directories on the desktop) is unwritable when I try to select it (
    "The specified folder is unwritable").
    I guess I really should get rid of the nasty habit of populating the desktop with zillions of trivial files ;)

    Everything works perfect on my system, which is XP Pro SP3 and ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID] and RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043].
    I never touch the OS XP folder.file permissions.  And as I said yesterday, all I have is the FrontView permissions correct.  Whether I export to the ReadyNas subdirectory including update Catalogue or not, the subdirectory is created and the export file physically exists.
    The only nag I have is after removing my (test) catalogue image and (test) catalogue folder, although the image is physically deleted the folder is left on my drive. I would call it an LR3 bug, but Adobe might think otherwise.  I know for a fact this does create problems if your try to create another subfolder with the same name at a later date. It happened to me a while back.  Hey, the light just turned on!   I reckon this is your route to check.  Even though T:\WindAnimalPark\email  folder does not exist in your catalogue at the start of this thread, was it exisiting physically ?  If yes, then this is probably the issue.  Delete \email folder from your disk firstly before making an export to it even if it is not showing in Catalogue.

  • A folder on my desktop is missing, when I search for files in the folder nothing comes up...

    a folder  on my desktop is missing, when I search for files that are in the folder nothing comes up!  There are no items in my trash! please help!!!!

    Well, now you know why you should have backed your data up. There are two kinds of computer users: those who have accidentally deleted important data in the past, and those who will do so in the future. You've just switched groups. If your data isn't backed up, it will all be lost sooner or later to boneheaded mistakes or hard drive failure. The only question is when. Good backups are cheap insurance against that day.
    Now that those files have been deleted, you'll have to use data recovery software to try to salvage them, assuming the space they occupied on your hard drive hasn't yet been overwritten (a pretty good bet if they were still visible yesterday and you STOP using your computer now, to avoid overwriting them before you recover them). To do so you'll need an external hard drive and one of the following recovery utilities:
    Data Rescue 3: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    FileSalvage 7: http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
    Both are offered in demo versions that will show you what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything.

  • Desktop is missing and can't open finder since upgrading to 10.9.5

    Since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 my desktop is missing (no drives or files) and I can't open finder or empty trash. I can only access programs in the dock. I tried zapping the PRAM and it fixed it but the next time I restarted same problem.
    iMac computer

    You might have corrupt .plists.
    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.  Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plists to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Exchange 2013 mail contact in Active Directory missing SMTP email address but has a primary email address

    Outlook 2010 Distribution Group contact member "Al" is not showing an email address. In Active Directory "Al" is showing an email address but it's not a SMTP email address that is created when you add a new Mail contact using EAC. 
    When the DG owner sends out an email using DG email account, the mail bounces back as undeliverable.
    Exchange Admin Center is not showing the member.  The only way to fix the member is by deleting the contact. Re-add contact in EAC then add to Distribution Group.  We have over 30 DGs that are missing the SMTP email addresses.
    Can a Powershell command fix this issue or is there a sync issue between AD and Exchange?

    Hi,
    From your description, the contact you specified should be contact not mail contact. Contact and mail contact are two different things. If you create a contact in ADUC, you need to mail-enable it and then set the primary SMTP address for it.
    For more information, here is an article for your reference.

  • Open app in current space/desktop option missing

    After upgrading to Yosemite I now no longer have the option from the task bar -> app -> options -> This Desktop or Desktop on Display [#].  It looks like this option is SUPPOSED to still be available on Yosemite: OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
    Every time I restart my spaces are all moved around and some, not all, of my apps open in different spaces. 
    I'd like to get organized again.  Am I missing something?

  • Macintosh HD desktop logo missing

    I visited the genius bar this morning re a problem file on my new Mac Pro running 10.9.3
    I was was told to create a new user with admin privileges and then use migration assistant to bring in all the files from Time Machine apart from the system files
    I created a new user with admin privileges ok but when I logged onto this I found the Macintosh HD logo is missing from the desktop and when I try using Finder it can't locate migration assistant
    Anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong?
    The old accounts have the logo in place (there were migrated from Time Machine a few days ago)
    Thanks

    1. Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and check the box for hard disks.
    2. Choose Utilities from the Finder's Go menu and open the Migration Assistant.

  • Cdrom directory missing in root

    Hi guys,
    thanks for helping out. I recently installed solaris 10 zfs in netra240 server. This netra240 has a DVD Rom. However, in the root directory, there is no cdrom. It is missing. I will glad if someone can help me resolve this issue.
    Thank you again.

    Hi,
    The Solaris OS has a Volume Management Utility managed by SMF Service (svc:/system/filesystem/volfs:default). It will automatically mount the cdrom under /cdrom when you insert one in the drive. It it doesn't mount it, you have to mount it manually. The procedure is:
    1. Disable the volfs service. (svcadm disable -v volfs).
    2. mount the cdrom. (mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/<cdrom> /cdrom
    3. Access the cdrom content.
    4. Eject the cdrom (cd /;eject cdrom).
    5. Enable volfs service (svcadm enable -v volfs).
    Regards
    Rei

  • Mavericks desktop unresponsive, missing icons

    My Mavericks desktop has all of a sudden become unresponsive and all the icons are missing though I can see them in Finder. I can't drag any files to the desktop. Can't copy/paste. I can't even right click to bring up the context menu or even drag out a selection box. It's completely blank other than my wallpaper and won't do anything.
    I'm on 10.9.5.
    I don't know if this is related but I recently made an Automator script I found online to show/hide invisible files because I needed it. This is the shell script that runs:
    is_shown=$(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles)
    if [ $is_shown != "TRUE" ]
    then
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    else
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    fi
    I did it once to show and once to hide. I did this yesterday but only noticed this issue today. I'm pretty sure it was working fine yesterday after this and this morning.
    I have restarted my computer several times and it still doesn't work. I also found this other solution to run this in Terminal but it didn't work:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    What can i do??

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.

  • Directory Missing

    Hi,
    The directory oracle is missing from the location
    ]$ pwd
    /u04/Rel11i/devora/8.0.6/forms60/java
    $ cd oracle
    -bash: cd: oracle: No such file or directory
    How to resolve this.Anyone Pls help...
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    I copied that oracle directory structure from another instance and the patch which was not working
    worked fine.I think that generation of jar files was also an issue of not having this oracle dir structure
    as the patch was failing at that stepThis is expected, since Registry.dat should exist under $806_ORACLE_HOME/form60/java/registry/ and none of the files/directories should be missing under $806_ORACLE_HOME/form60/java
    But still i have to copy the Directories you menionted?Yes, you should copy all those files in order to have an identical copy of your source instance. Can you list the directories which you have copied when you cloned the instance?
