[SOLVED] Contents of home folder on desktop in Gnome Shell
A few days ago, after installing some updates (I believe gnome-themes-standard was amongst them) and restarting, I found that the contents of my home folder were displayed as icons on my desktop, and when I go into Activities mode, the background is black. Searching around hasn't turned up any results... any ideas?
In case there's any potential graphics related issues wrt the blank background, the system is a laptop with a HD3000 GPU in a Core i7 CPU.

You can probably remove the desktop icons by opening dconf-editor and going to org.gnome.desktop.background. Once there, untick show-desktop-icons and restart the Shell.
I don't know about your other issue though, have you tried with another theme?
EDIT: The issues are related; my background also just went black. Just untick the above option, re-set your wallpaper and finally restart the Shell; that did it for me.

[SOLVED] Finding missing home folder
Ok, I just got some new hardware and was finally able to try out an x86-64 distro, which made me want to give Arch another go in hopes that some old compatibility issues I had would have died with my old hardware (which they greatfully did).
My issue started out where after install my old home folder from Mint was apparently missing. So what I did was try mounting my home partition to a temp folder to see what it showed and I was surprised to see that my old home folder was there, but my current one was not. I then looked closer at my current home folder and noticed that the free space shown for it was closer to what my / partition had. This got me wondering if something was wrong with my fstab file, so I went in that and found that when I added noatime flags to a few of my partitions that I mis-typed it for the partition for my home folders (noaatime instead of noatime).
I corrected this mistake, saved, and rebooted and found I wasn't allowed to start up my desktop, because now my current Arch user home directory is missing, presumably orphaned on my / partition.
What I would like to know is if there is a way to recover this now missing folder. I would like to recover a downloaded file in it and perhaps relocate the whole thing into the proper partition for my home directory. Also, even if I can't it's not a big deal, besides the fact that I would want to purge the folder if it is orphaned and still taking up space in my / partition.
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
Last edited by xcausex (2011-06-21 19:18:56)I may have totally misunderstood, but I think that your old mint home dir is on a file-system that you mount on /home. But, your Arch home dir is in /home on the root file-system. So when you mount /home it "hides" the Arch home dir underneath the newly mounted file-system
To fix (if this is correct)...
1) log out of all sessions
2) log in as root
3) # umount /home
4) # cd /home
At this point, your old mint home dir should be gone and the new Arch one available
5) # mv <your_username> /
6) # cd /
7) # mount /home
8) # cd /home
9) # mv <your_username> <your_username>.old
10) # mv /<your_username> .

[Solved] How to add launchers to Desktop of gnome 3 ?
Hi,
I have gnome 3 installed. I have enabled adding files in desktop. Now my desktop shows home icon and trash. Now i want to add some existing application launcher to desktop. For example i have chromium browser installed and i have added it to favorites. I want to add launcher to desktop as a icon, so that i can click on chrome icon in desktop and use chromium browser. I searched on the google a lot but no luck
Last edited by ashwin_cse (2013-07-15 14:55:51)It is now solved. I installed extensions from here . These extensions make available gnome 2 features in gnome 3 by using native gnome 3 code and not by making to fall back to gnome 2. But these extensions doesn't have one feature i am looking for , which is launchers. For that only i found was to install gnome-panel. Which is a gnome2 thing. Unfortunately i couldn't find any gnome 3 things that would do this. So i installed gnome-panel which contains gnome-desktop-item-edit file. Then i ran the following to create a launcher :
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
But the problem is that the site says it might break with gnome 3 updates. -
Help with understanding the Home Folder plus User Accounts
I just got the IMac (replacing an ageing...that is an understatement...Grape iMac from long ago) and this is my first go at the OSX. My previous iMac had OS9.2
I am having a problem understanding the Home folder and the Users to a point. The concepts are fine, it is the changing of names that is the problem. When I first started the iMac and went through the set-up and finally looked at the file structure, there was the Home Folder with a name, which i guess was pre-entered during set-up since I did not enter it (lets call it JOE). There was also 1 User, JOE with all the iLife folders. Since I did not like the name, i went to the Systems Preferences, into Accounts and found that JOE is an Admin. So, I changed the name to, lets say BILL, who still is an Admin. I also changed some settings and made BILL the auto log account. OK so far I am happy. I go back to the HD and find that now there are 2 users (folders), BILL and JOE, and that the Home Folder is still named JOE butall the iLife files are now under BILL.
So I went and also renamed the Home Folder to BILL, so everything looks fine. But when I restarted the iMac latter it lost all the settings (mouse, etc.) This is really getting confusing.
Here is what I want to do (after some reasearch):
I want to change the Short Name (JOE) but so far I have read that you can not do that. Where did this name come from (basically my first initial and my last name) because I don't want my Home Folder to be named that. I found somewhere that the only way to do that is an Erase and Install. I am willing to do that since I have a backup of all the iLife files on an external disk anyways and I have not put anything new yet.
Can someone enlighten me as to what would be the best course of action....this Short Name thing is frustrating.
iMac 20" 2.33MHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)Welcome To Discussions kapklo!
First you need to sort out the extra Home folder issue, that was created by changing the Short Names.
The info in one or more of the articles linked to below, will help you with that.
Return to Default Desktop, Apparent "Loss" of Home Directory
My home folder and desktop are different than before
Recover from renaming your Home folder, authored by Dr Smoke
Then you can change the Short Name using this Change Short Name The Easy Way.
Or you could do an Erase & Install, making sure you enter your preferred Short Name, during the setup process.

Sync my local folders to the network home folder?
HI, I use the Workgroup manager to create a new user and then under the "Home" tab to create a "HOme" for that new user. When I save a file onto that new user's local desktop; I want that new files to be copied to the user's home folder's desktop. How can I do that?
When I logon the Macbook with the new user's logon, I can see the home folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Musics, ...etc) there on the server with a "no access red sign" and just no automatically sync to those folders. What do I miss out here?
Can anyone help? I want the users to be able to sync all the files from their Macbook to their home folders on the Xserve once they shutdown.So you are saying that on the server you see red circles on the folders on the server right?
That would be correct because the local admin on the server does not have access to them. That is how it is susposed to work. If you would like to have access to those folders you can add the local admin to the ACL of the users folder and then propigate it down to the rest of the folders. You can do that in server admin.
You will then be able to see if the data is getting to the folders on the server. -
Another Question Mark, and the home folder is missing
My iBook 14" G4 1.33 started acting up, and I thought it was time for a new drive.. I put in a new WD 120g and formatted with Tiger and all my saved stuff. It was working, but upon rebooting, I'd get a (I guess) Western Digital hard drive flashing icon (15 times), then the folder with the ? another 15 times, then all would boot up normally. Within a day, Safari would crash, and then Mail... so, I called the HD dealer and they suggested writing over the drive with 0's. I got an input/output error, and could go no farther. They agreed to exchange the hard drive.. I changed out the new one, all worked great, no flashing icons on reboot, etc.. after a day or so, it all started happening again. Disk utility from the Tiger disk would find permissions out of whack and repair them. Then it happened again. This time the Disk Utility could see the drive, but not the content, or home folder or whatever it would be called... on repeated tries this would happen, or the only thing that would show up would be the optical drive. Next, I got a well worn Powerbook 1.67 from my sister. I swapped out my new Western Digital into the PB, and put my original 60g back in the iBook. The PowerBook works great with the drive I had formatted in the iBook. No problems. The iBook though is still not finding a folder to boot to, and only the HD shows in Disk Utility, without the "home folder drive icon" below it. I would really like to be able to use the iBook. I just did a hardware test from my disk that came with the iBook and everything passed. Any suggestions?
I really don't know, as I don't know what a problematical ATA bus would or would not do. Here is a thread you might like to review:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995115&start=0&tstart=0
If you do come to the conclusion that the ATA bus is at fault, you can use a firewire enclosure for a notebook drive and retain a certain measure of portability. OWC has these with the very reliable Oxford 911+ chip set, but any notebook sized firewire enclosure or drive would work.
The other thing to look at would be the cable--if it were damaged, that could also be the problem. Use a strong light to look for any breaks in the traces or other physical problems.
Good luck! -
[Solved] [Gnome 3.4.1] Gnome shell not working.
After updating Gnome, it won't start. It is a bit weird because in xsession-errors I have this:
/usr/bin/gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libcogl.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I said OK. I can downgrade that package because I had libcogl.so.9. But after downgrading it wasn't working and in log was:
/usr/bin/gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libcogl.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I really don't know what to do. Btw Arch X86_64.

[Solved] Xfce 4 displays Home folder, not just ~/Desktop folder...
When normally Xfce should display icons linking to Home, Trash, and any mounted volumes, Xfce, in Arch, at least, seems to be showing every unhidden file in my home folder.
I've deleted every file in my ~/.config file related to Xfce, so it's not a bad config file. I'm launching it from my .xinitrc with xinit, using the command "exec ck-launch-session startxfce4," and have reinstalled several times, and deleted my .config/xfce4 folder each time. When I uninstall, there's nothing related to Xfce in /etc/xdg. Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a solution that can be found?
This doesn't happen in my Debian Sid, which is running the same version of Xfce (assuming Arch has 4.6.2), which makes it even weirder, and all I've done to that is change the panels, wallpaper, and add a couple programs to startup on that install (wicd-client and avant-window-navigator, specifically).

Thanks! I figured it was important, and did a search before posting back, installing xdg-user-dirs, running it xdg-user-dir, and editing the file accordingly. Log out, log back in, and it's all fine now. Funny that it should work out this way, despite using XFCE with no problems in the past.

In Mavericks, how do I create an alias to my home folder, complete with the little house icon, to put on my desktop, please? I can get the folder, but not with the icon.

As you were, solved, thank you. CM

Navigate to your home folder from "Macintosh HD" (or whatever the name of your boot volume is) in the finder. Set the view to column.
Once you reach the path of your home folder, select it, hold down the key combination option + command and drag the alias to your desktop. -
Im having some strange issues with my home folder.
I followed the "beginners guide" by adding a user with this command: "useradd -m -g users -G audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,games,power -s /bin/bash archie", but with my username.
But when i try to start transmission i get this error:Couldn't open "/home/steffa/.config/transmission/lock": No such file or directory. But im able to open transmission if i use the sudo command.
The same problem occurs when i try to use menumaker. i get this output:
[steffa@myhost ~]$ sudo mmaker -vf OpenBox3
Password:
* scanning

legacy... 11 apps found
debian... 71 apps found
* merging... 38 coincidings detected
* generating
no terminal emulator specified; will use the default
using Xterm as terminal emulator
* writing to ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml
* done
But reconfigure openbox doesnt change the menu at all. it is still the default menu.xml
I also get this error when trying to launch chromium:
[2389:2389:154808490:FATAL:chrome/browser/browser_main.cc(771)] Check failed: PathService::Get(chrome::DIR_USER_DATA, &user_data_dir). Must be able to get user data directory!
All other applications works just fine.

Great, please mark your topic solved by prepending it to the title.
why did root own my home folder?
I'm not sure, it happened to people before so maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
i did "sudo chown -R steffa:users /home/steffa" i read somewhere that that is the correct way. am i wrong?
Yes that's fine, the extra :users part also assigns it to the users group. -
How I Solved My "Can't Import My Home Folder" Problem While Staying Sane
This may be a well-known work-around for Time Machine and Migration Assistant, but I didn't find any reference to it in searching in Google (which included some threads here), so I thought I'd post it in case anyone else is experiencing similar problems.
I was having problems with some program install permissions and tried fixing them in more traditional ways without success, so I decided it was a good day for an Erase and Reinstall of Leopard.
I didn't want to copy my entire Home directory's contents and I have 6 HDs (four internal and two external) totaling about 1.5TBs. So, to prepare for the reinstall, rather than use Backup, I copied all important files to my other drives and then I copied my Home directory to another drive in the machine. Satisfied that everything was backed-up, I reinstalled Leopard using the Erase and Install option and soon had a good system, fully updated.
However, when I went to copy the Home Directory I kept getting errors saying that I can't alter these files and folders, even when I drilled down into the subdirectories. I didn't try copying individual files, but then I had no desire to do so given the amount of time that would take.
I looked around but could find no good solution. However, I did come up with a workaround and this is what I did:
First, I moved my Home Folder designation to the one on the backup hard drive by:
1) Go to System Preferences
2) Click the lock to make changes and enter your user password
3) Right-Click on your User Account and select "Advanced Options"
4) From the drop-down window, to the right of the "Home Directory" box select "Choose..."
5) Navigate to the backup User Account home folder and select it and click "OK
6) Relock the Accounts pane
7) Now you can delete the "old" Home Folder under your OS drive: Users/user account
8) Now just copy the backed-up Home Folder (that is now your real Home Folder) to the OS drive: Users/user account
9) Repeat steps2, 3 and 4, this time selecting your now moved Home Folder in the OS drive: Users/user account
10) Now you can delete the backup or keep it AS a backup.
I know this is a kludgey, wrong way to do backup and that Backup is the way to go, but for those out there who don't do it or have some problem restoring it, this is a possible way around so that you don't end up having to restore everything by hand.
This workaround may have already been discussed and well-known, but I had not seen it and am posting this in the hopes that it will help someone in trouble.
JoeLjoeldm,
There is a "proper" way to do what you have done. First, one must create an account within the new installation using the exact same username and short name that was used in the old installation. Then, one enables the "root" account and logs in as root.
Within the root account, the local HOME folder that was created for the user is placed in the trash, then replaced with a (same-named) copy from the backup. THat HOME folder copy will be onwed by root, so this command must be run in Terminal:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R username:staff /Users/username</pre>
In the above command, all instances of "username" are replaced with the user's short name. For example, if the user's name is "fred," the command would be typed exactly like this:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">chown -R fred:staff /Users/fred</pre>
The command is executed when <RETURN> is pressed. NOTE: The specific command listed above applies only to 10.5.
One would then log out of the "root" account, and into the account in question. If all seems well, one would log back into the root account, empty the trash, then log out of and disable the root account.
Alternatively, if there is a Time Machine backup that can be used, the Time Machine interface can be used in the root account to replace the trashed HOME folder, instead of copying manually in the Finder. This would generally be a better method to use, if possible.

EDIT: If one wishes to replace/restore only certain portions of a HOME folder, this is possible. The same methods would apply to only limited segments within a HOME folder. -s -
Changed home folder name, how do I get my desktop back?
I changed the home folder name and when I logged off and then back on to the computer, my desktop was completely different. I was told by apple care that it had to be corrected through the command lines. I would greatly appreciate someone's help with this issue!

[SOLVED] Home folder full & can't figure out why (MBs not matching up)
/home (as a partition) is 5GB and completely full... however, XFE, emelfm2, and PCManFM all see the home "folder" as being between 1.3GB and 1.8GB full... I am under the impression that I have a ghost file SOMEWHERE that even root can't properly detect, as it's not making any sense. What tools can I use to figure out why my /home partition is full?
Note: XFE, when checking the properties of the home partition vs home folder, it also shows the partition as full and the contents of the folder as 1.5GB or so. I can't shut down the computer, as I'm transferring large files from one flash drive to another (and my /tmp is on another partition and is 1% full out of 3.8GB. The comand 'df' returns that the partition is full as well... all tools, whether accessed via root or user, are telling me contradicting things: partition full, folder 40%(ish) and it's driving me mad! Any and all help is, and will be, GREATLY appreciated!
SOLUTION:
installed ncdu from repos, used command 'ncdu /home' and found which folder was the culprit... I had a large transfer going overnight that wasn't going when I got back in the morning, so the disk wasn't at 100% when I got back (not sure why any space was taken up by the transfer since the tmp folder is NOT in /home and the transfer wasn't to or from /home, but that may be an issue for another day).
Last edited by CPUnltd (2012-01-25 20:37:44)trash was empty, lost+found could be a possibility... what is ncdu?
EDIT:
figured out what ncdu is, can't believe I'd never seen this program before!!! will be using it to track down the issue tomorrow! THANKS!!!

[solved] Gnome-do can't open home folder
I've been using gnome-do for a while now and like it, but I can't get it to open my home folder. This is with the docky theme. If I try to use it to open my home folder.
What I mean is type super-space to bring up the text input box and then type "home", if I run the action to open home folder it brings up the busy cursor icon but then never opens the home folder.
I can work around this by enabling the files and folders plugin and then typing my username, but I would rather have the home folder thing work.
Anyone else using gnome-do on Arch have this problem or any idea why I'm having this problem?
Last edited by jowilkin (2010-01-25 02:27:40)Well apparently this is a known issue that the gnome-do devs are not too interested in fixing https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/290136
Edit: Actually looks like it was a nautilus bug, there is a workaround in the bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/290136/comments/48, you only need to make the following change: in /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop, change "Exec=nautilus --no-desktop" to "Exec=nautilus --no-desktop ." - Just add a space and a period.

It appears that I have lost the ability to log in and reach the desktop because of problems accessing my keychain for Filevault.So, I need to reboot from DVD, change my login password, which I can accomplish via the utilities menu in the startup OS 10.5 dvd, then change my filevault keychain password. OS 10.5 is installed on the macbook, by the way.
I need to find a way to a similar utility that allows me to change the keychain password to filevault from the dvd as well. Is there a way to do this through the utilities menu? Changing the keychain access is recommended elsewhere using Apple menu's System Preferences selection, but the selection is grayed out as is the entire Apple menu when I am at the startup installation screen, which is the same place I am able to access the utilities menu for the login password change. Please help. ThanksOuch, the Filevault/Master Password is totally different.
One of the drawbacks of encrypting data is that if the user forgets his or her password, access to the files in the home folder is lost. If an account has FileVault enabled, an administrator user cannot use Accounts preferences to change that account's password, nor can the administrator user turn off FileVault for the account; only the user can do that.
Because users often forget passwords, Mac OS X provides a master password feature to allow passwords on FileVault-protected accounts to be reset. The master password is used only as a back door for recovering FileVault-encrypted accounts. If during login a user enters three incorrect passwords for his or her FileVault-encrypted account, the account's password hint is displayed along with a Reset Password button. After the user clicks Reset Password and enters the master password (obtained from the administrator), he or she can set a new login password.
If you forget the master password, you can reset it, but you must know the passwords for any accounts with FileVault enabled:
As an administrator user, delete the master password keychain file (/Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain). When the master password keychain is deleted, Mac OS X assumes that no master password is set yet.
In Security preferences, set a new master password.
Log in to each account that has FileVault turned on, and use Accounts preferences to reset the password for each account.
NOTE
Do not forget the master password! Although it is possible to reset the master password, it still requires all users with FileVault-protected accounts to know their passwords. If a user has forgotten his or her login password, and you have forgotten the master password, there is no way to recover the user's data.
