jrick Registered Member Posts 131 Karma 1 OS	Home Folder in Dolphin Tue Oct 14, 2008 3:46 am I installed FreeBSD with the default partitions, and so my home folder is actually on the /usr partition. /home/username is just a symlink to /usr/home/username. The problem is that when I open dolphin, it defaults to "Root > usr > home > username", instead of just "Home". In the places sidebar, Root is selected instead of Home. Any idea how this can be fixed? I'm using KDE 4.1.1 (the latest version in the FreeBSD ports collection). Last edited by jrick on Tue Oct 14, 2008 3:47 am, edited 1 time in total. Type Colemak!

dimsuz KDE Developer Posts 18 Karma 0 OS	RE: Home Folder in Dolphin Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:43 am Hmm, and what's value of $HOME? Perhaps this should be reported as a bug for dolphin, you can get in contact with developers this way. One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know", Alice answered. "Then", said the cat, "it doesn't matter." (c) Lewis Carroll

jrick Registered Member Posts 131 Karma 1 OS	RE: Home Folder in Dolphin Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:36 pm $HOME is set to /usr/home/username, but after running Code: Select all `% export HOME=/home/username % dolphin` it still opens to "Root > usr > home > username". Clicking "Home" in the sidebar works as expected, taking me to /home/username/. In fact, going from "Root > home > username" will take me to "Home". I'll see about submitting a bug if I can't fix it with a setting (otherwise, it would be a porting mistake).[hr] Ah, I think I figured it out. I had to go to Settings > Configure Dolphin... and set the home folder location to file:///home/username . Now everything works as expected.
