Hi
I fired up 23.10, renamed my Pictures dir (to falbackPictures), then
$ln -s path_to_22.04_home_Pictures Pictures
$ls Pictures
all looked as it should,
went to Settings to check that I could also see contents of Pictures when
setting background, all looked good, background set to pic in (linked) Pictures
dir
deleted falbackPictures
went back to Settings to check that I could still see contents of Pictures when
setting background, still looked good
shutdown now -r
on reboot background had defaulted to a Lobster (not Minotaur ??)
went to Settings, now cant see contents of Pictures to set background
$ln -s path_to_22.04_home_Pictures Pictures
$ls Pictures
all looked as it should, went to Settings, still couldn't see contents of
Pictures to set background
Looked in (linked) Pictures from filemanager, right-click a picture, select
"use
as wallpaper" (or similar wording, on wrong box now)
went back to desktop, background still Lobster
should a symlink persist? did I miss a step,
the 22.04 disk is auto mounted (AFAIK) at boot, it is always there on the
launcher/dock
