I stumbled on this bug after a fresh hardy install on a new computer. I installed the system in French (by mistake, but I'm in France) and switched to English after the install was completed, not removing the French localization.
Both "Bureau" and "Desktop" files were present (all the other ones got properly updated). Mounted files were shown on "Bureau", which remained the actual desktop, when default screenshots were sent to "Desktop" for ex. I played around with symlinks with no success (showed as broken). Choosing English language at GDM and accepting the locale update got it straightened up. -- [Hardy] Desktop Folder reported twice changing language in automatic changing folder name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185693 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
