[Bug 893526] Re: Post login shows dialogue to rename homedir to homedir/Public

 

Very similar, related to bug #209513 "After upgrade, "Update standard
folders to current language" threatens to rename your home folder".  The
part that particularly concerns me about this is the prompt to rename
'~/./' to '~/Public/'.

I followed up with the reporter via IRC.  The datestamp on the file is:

  -rw------- 1 jperkin jperkin 626 Nov 22 10:32 .config/user-dirs.dirs

** Project changed: ubuntu-branding => xdg-user-dirs (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Post login shows dialogue to rename homedir to homedir/Public

Status in “xdg-user-dirs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This morning I updated packages as prompted, and as there was a new
  kernel I rebooted.

  After logging back in, I was greeted with the attached screenshot.
  No, I would not like to break my home directory, thanks :)

  As far as I am aware I did not change language (I don't even know how
  to), all I did was reboot, then type my password at LightDM and got
  that dialog box.
