Just installed Fedora 42 Cosmic Atomic and there are no folders in Home when viewing with Cosmic files. I can see appropriate hidden files in Home but not the usual Documents,Videos,Pictures etc. Is this a permissions issue, a Cosmic bug or is this the default?
Update: Installed Dolphin file manager and it’s just the same (no folders in Home) so presumably not a Cosmic files error but how the system is setup.
Also can’t add another user (I can but cannot login to any newly created user other than initial admin) so clearly something very screwy going on in account creation.
Try:
sudo dnf install xdg-user-dirs
xdg-user-dirs-update --force

Thanks. Interesting if that applies to the Atomic version that I’m running (Dnf isn’t a feature of atomic versions due to their immutable nature). I’m guessing that will need to be resolved in the next image upgrade for Atomic users.
Just did an upgrade from 41 - 42 and I checked and I have: xdg-user-dirs.x86_64 0.18-9.fc42 fedora installed. When I open nautlius, or other app that browses to open a file, I only get Home, Recent, Starred, Network, & Trash. I also had some bookmarked items in gtk-3.0 that creates Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads, and my links. From what I noticed, the upper half of the nautlius left hand menu was from user-dirs.dirs and items on the lower half were from gtk-3.0/bookmarks file. Is this now correct (different than 41)
?
