desktop refesh problem

Post by lutterworth »

hi there

i can not find freshly downloaded or copied/moved files on the desktop
reason: desktop does not update/ refresh itself

then i open nemo/desktop to find them, but even there, sometimes, the freshly downloaded files do not show up.

is that a bug or can i change the refresh rate somewhere?

i run rebecca 17.1 and cinnamon 2.4.8

thanks for your help!!

Please create a new account, don't change there anything. Test it with this test account.

In your main account enter in a terminal (copy from here and paste in the terminal with ctrl-shift-v):

Code: Select all

ls -laR ~/.dbus
and paste the output here.

meanwhile i have upgraded to cinnamon 2.6
and mybe my problem is solved - ii have to test it over the next days.

but to open a new user and check it on this side is also a good idea.
this is the output of my main user account

Code: Select all

The output looks (mostly) as expected.
Only difference to default is, that your home (upper entry ..) has no privileges for group members and other users. Intentionally? Anyway, that should not matter in this context.
