Hi,
I am new to UBUNTU / Linux and having two strange issues when using the desktop version for ubuntu...
One issue is similar to the accepted solution to https://www.linux.org/threads/desktop-settings-reset-every-login-or-restart-solved.33127/
Except... I don't seem to have the files in the /etc/skel/ directory
"it's empty".
I am using Ubuntu 18.04. LTS. Here is my df -h
udev 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 2.0G 1.3G 767M 62% /run
/dev/sda1 20G 5.6G 14G 29% /
tmpfs 1.8G 342M 1.5G 19% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 800M 0 800M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0 56M 56M 0 100% /snap/core18/2409
/dev/loop1 299M 299M 0 100% /snap/snapd/46
/dev/loop2 47M 47M 0 100% /snap/snapd/16292
/dev/loop3 47M 47M 0 100% /snap/snapd/16010
/dev/loop4 299M 299M 0 100% /snap/snapd/48
/dev/sda15 105M 4.4M 100M 5% /boot/efi
tmpfs 368M 16K 368M 1% /run/user/1001
I believe it has something to do with memory? But I am completely lost here and trying to move from windows to ubuntu...
Can anybody please explain how I can keep my settings for sessions when I reboot? I have tried a lot of things and was going to try a symbolic link for the files on the desktop? (after I find them HA!)
I am using both ubuntu desktop and xrdp, using these commands:
sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop
sudo apt install xrdp
I have also tried: sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop and run into the same issues...
This issue might be tied in with some memory issue that after a week or so my computer is randomly rebooting and causing everything to be lost. I have tried to mess with the /run size (there is 4 GB in RAM). It seem to be "ok" most of the time when I check it, but them it's not.
Thank you for any help!
