[SOLVED] LMDE MATE UP6 RC - Home files appear on desktop
Posted: Sat Mar 02, 2013 8:26 pm
I recently installed LMDE UP6 MATE, 32bit edition onto a laptop with separate root and home partitions. I used the same user name in the new system as the old system had. (The previous system was Snow Linux, a distro based on Debian Testing.)
I configured the LMDE installer to reformat the root partition while mounting the untouched /home partition.
Upon booting into the new system with the LMDE Mate desktop, I notice that all the files and folders in my home partition now show up on the desktop as icons, a behavior I do not care for.
I searched through various preferences settings to find a way to change this, as well as searching these forums. without success.
How do I reconfigure Mate so that the files and folders in my home directory do not show up as icons on my desktop?
Thank you.
