*Hi All*
I seem to have duplicate Home Directories on my work machine!!??
When I set up Kubuntu 9.04 - seen as I have two Hard Drives in the
computer I set my Home Directory to the second drive.
When I installed 9.10 I pointed the Home Directory to be on this second
drive also but it seems as if I now have TWO Homes. The problem is that
Dolphin only sees the new one so I can't combine them. Other programs
see the older Home - for example I just Saved two photos attached to an
eMail in Thunderbird and they are there but Dolphin does not find them.
So - how do I fix this? (I wondered where some of my files had gone!!!)
Is there a case clash ie is 'home', 'HOME' and 'Home"' treated the same?
With the upcoming 10.04 I want to keep all my Data on the second drive
and do a fresh full install on the primary drive so what is the correct
procedure?
Thanks in advance
Ian Whitfield
