kristi Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) A. I am so stone age! - course I was using auto logon and I didn't have the mod from AussieJohn to display all of my users including root as options at logon time. I had been rebooting, just to reload a user. :woops: B. I had assumed early on, for this install, that I had set up my root konqueror to view hidden files - something I always do. :woops: C. Ian, wastebin didn't work. But note the contents of trash.desktop below..... D. coverup, your suggestion to create a new user held the key. When I logged in to this user, there was trash, so I fired up a root konqueror and looked in Desktop. I found: .directory Home.desktop System.desktop trash.desktop Welcome.desktop .directory contained (arctic, when I cleared Desktop (with a correctly set up konqueror) this was all I got) [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Directory BgImage= Icon=desktop Home.desktop contained [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Home Name[af]=Huis (I deleted the rest for this post) GenericName=Personal Files GenericName[af]=Persoonlike Lêers (I deleted the rest for this post) URL=$HOME Icon=home-mdk Type=Link System.desktop contained [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=System Name[af]=Stelsel (I deleted the rest for this post) GenericName=System Locations GenericName[bg]=СиÑтемни файлове (I deleted the rest for this post) URL=system:/ Icon=system Type=Link trash.desktop contained (not seen one of these before) [Desktop Entry] Type=Link URL=trash:/ Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=trashcan_full EmptyIcon=trashcan_empty Name=Trash Name[en_GB]=Wastebin Comment=I removed the non english lines and comments Comment=Contains removed files Welcome.desktop contains (by this time I was tired of this and didn't care!!!) So I just did a select all and copied it on top of what I had in Desktop for the kristi user. Voila!!! to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
