I recently installed ubuntu 18.04 along with windows 10. The installation was done into an SSD which contained the Windows OS, but of course, partitioned. So, the Windows OS is in one partition and the Linux in other.
I created a directory common and the path of the directory is
\home\user\common
and I tried to move Pictures, Documents, Desktop etc., to this directory. I also created the symbolic links in the file user-dirs. dirs but no luck. Here is an example of how it was and how I changed it -
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
I created a directory common in home/user and changed the file as follows,
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/common/Desktop"
Since this doesn't work I want to know if there is an alternative solution or should I reinstall the OS?
Thanks
