Downloads, Music, Pictures, Templates and Videos folders created in Documents

WhiteWolf

Just as title says:
Downloads, Music, Pictures, Templates and Videos folders created in Documents folder every time I restart my PC. Honestly I didn't noticed it until now but I think it came with kernel 5.12 upgrade from 5.11. Any ideas what could happen here? Is this a bug or just some config issue?

WhiteWolf That doesn't sound like a kernel issue. I am also on the 5.12 kernel, but with no problems.

Cannot duplicate. When I open the Documents folder from either the pane on the left, or the Documents folder in the list, they only contain my documents. There are no duplicate Download, Music, Pictures, Music, Templates, Videos folders inside my Documents folder.

What is your user dir config cat .config/user-dirs.dirs.

algent cat .config/user-dirs.dirs:
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Here is a screenshoot:

WhiteWolf It looks fine fo me. Can you do another test? Try to create a new account and see if this issue is happening with that account.

algent Freaky. Could these folders be accidentally symlinked or shortcutted somehow?

Maybe that mess is caused by an script? (Probably not). Maybe checking system logs can give you some clue.

Todays updates fixed my issue. Duno what was the technical reason for it. Please close this topic.
