Title:
Nautilus bookmarks are not updated after username change
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello. After I installed my system, I realised that I set the username
to "laptop" and called my machine "tom". This annoyed me greatly, so I
changed it using gnome-control-center. Later, I realised that when
trying to open folders like "Pictures" and "Videos" by searching in
the Unity dash, I would get an error similar to "Could not find
/home/laptop/Pictures". I expected the Unity dash to open my Pictures
folder. To fix this, I edited the file "/home/tom/.gtk-bookmarks" so
it reads:
file:///home/tom/Documents
file:///home/tom/Music
file:///home/tom/Pictures
file:///home/tom/Videos
file:///home/tom/Downloads
instead of:
file:///home/laptop/Documents
file:///home/laptop/Music
file:///home/laptop/Pictures
file:///home/laptop/Videos
file:///home/laptop/Downloads
Obviously, this should've been done by gnome-control-center. After 3-4
years of using Linux it took me a while to work out how to fix this,
and an average user definitely would not know what to do in this
situation.
