I have now booted into my old Lubuntu Next 17.10 install, to see what PCManFM-qt was doing there.
It reports the correct Desktop location: "/data/scott/Desktop" No problem at all. To summarize: In BOTH Lubuntu Next 17.10 and 18.04 (the final dailies of each), PCManFM-qt finds/uses "/data/scott/Desktop" correctly for handling the actual desktop (displaying the icons on the desktop, etc.) BUT Lubuntu Next 18.04's PCManFM-qt does not find/use the correct directory for the left panel Desktop button, whereas Lubuntu Next 17.10's version DID. For Lubuntu Next 17.10 final daily (possibly updated in its 6 month life): pcmanfm-qt version: 0.11.3-4 libfm-qt3 version: 0.11.2-2build1 liblxqt0 version: 0.11.1-2 libqt5xdg2 version: 2.0.0-8 - [I even booted into Lubuntu 17.04, and PCManFM (non-Qt) correctly handled my desktop directory for the left panel Desktop button. pcmanfm version: 1.2.5-2ubuntu0.1] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768961 Title: xdg user-dirs not being read/stored correctly for desktop icon in left panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt/+bug/1768961/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
