I'm another Ubuntu gnome transplant. I installed Mint 13 64bit with XFCE last night and getting used to the differences.
I was using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with Gnome, where I had a separate partition for my home directory. During the process of getting ready to do the install I backed up my /home/$USER to where I had kept another copy of it at /mnt/old_home on another drive. I updated the firmware on my SSD and did a secure erase.
When I installed Mint, I made two new partitions for the clean SSD, a 40GB root and a 20GB home. Also during installation, I chose the new 20GB to be mounted in /home. After install was complete I copied all the files from /mnt/old_home to the new /home. Then I copied my old fstab from another other drive and put it in /etc. I ended up having /home/$USER/$USER ...so I moved everything in the second $USER back one dir.
My desktop currently shows files from /home/$USER instead of /home/$USER/Desktop....is this standard XFCE ?
- Code: Select all
ls /media/
shows the three media partitions as mounted and I can access them, but they don't show up on the Desktop like they did in my previous installation.

I'm getting a little confused about what I did and what I thought I did....it would help if I understood what to expect in XFCE !
thanks for your patience and help,
