[Bug 209513] Re: After upgrade, "Update standard folders to current language" threatens to rename your home folder
Wow, this bugginess is still around in 16.04. Today after a minor upgrade this offer to change folders came up. I initially declined the offer but when it persisted I accepted and my Download folder with 13 GB of data disappeared - poof - and was replaced with an empty Download folder. Fortunately, after reading the above comments it seemed the data was still around and turned out to be fairly easy to locate. The Download folder was tucked away in Home's .cache folder. A new Download folder had been created, so it was a simple matter to merge the two and everything is now back to normal.

This just happened to me after rebooting. The dialog asks me to change /home/trusktr to /home/trusktr/Templates. Before reboot, I had deleted the Templates folder because it was empty. I guess it noticed, and I proceeded with it's suggestion, which re- created the Templates folder.

Yup - running PP beta, just restarted from updates, and I got this same question, with the same really weird renaming ideas.

[Bug 209513] Re: After upgrade, Update standard folders to current language threatens to rename your home folder
I believe comment 12 is the key here. The dialogue has a very poor explanation but is trying to do the right thing. After confirming my configuration was similar to comment 12, I proceeded with yes and it all worked fine. I also noticed that my .config/user-dirs.locale contained en-US (my old setting) before accepting the changes and en- GB (the new setting) after accepting. It is simply noticing either old default, manual changes, or defaults for languages that didn't used to have translations are pointing to the wrong place, and now we have a more sensible default - either triggered by user changing the locale or a translations update. In my case it looked like it was trying to rename my Desktop to Downloads. What is really happening is that my downloads location was in fact Desktop (I think this was the old default?), and it simply wanted to give it the proper name. I would guess that if you didn't trigger this by changing language, then your translations have been updated. For example, your English-India pack used to be missing the Music translation so defaulted to /home/user. When the missing translation is filled in, it tries to confirm that the setting is /home/user/Music, fails, and asks you what to do. I think the behavior is desirable in most cases, but the explanation needs massive improvement. The only case I can imagine this being undesirable behavior would be if the user had manually (and deliberately) changed hiis directories from the defaults. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209513 Title: After upgrade, Update standard folders to current language threatens to rename your home folder -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yep, this is STILL happening. Seems Ubuntu no longer likes UK English.

Eventually, I wasn't vigilant enough, and the suggested updates got their way. I now have no mouse use.
