Bug Description
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome Shell 3.12.1. I use a network file server for most of my user home directories. To do this I mount a remote drive from a network server via nfs at boot time:
$ tail -n 2 /etc/fstab
# Remote NFS home
homeserver:/home /homeserver nfs rsize=8192,
and have configured the user directories in Nautilus thus:
$ cat ~/.config/
# PLACE ME IN ~/.config
# This file is written by xdg-user-
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_
XDG_DOWNLOAD_
XDG_TEMPLATES_
XDG_PUBLICSHARE
XDG_DOCUMENTS_
XDG_MUSIC_
XDG_PICTURES_
XDG_VIDEOS_
Everything is fine until I reboot. Then Nautilus overwrites my custom configuration (despite the file header comments):
$ cat ~/.config/
# This file is written by xdg-user-
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run
# Format is XDG_xxx_
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_
XDG_DOWNLOAD_
XDG_TEMPLATES_
XDG_PUBLICSHARE
XDG_DOCUMENTS_
XDG_MUSIC_
XDG_PICTURES_
XDG_VIDEOS_
As a work around, I recopy the former user-dirs.dirs file back to ~/.config/
Please, any advice on how to make my nfs mounted custom configuration stick. Thanks in advance!
