my download folder is in my laptop, but it doesn't show itself

PCPU · 2024-04-04 18:36:45

basically, i "don't" have a download folder, and when i try to search it, it shows nothing, but strangely, when i try to download a file, it appears, and let's me download said files there, and it's doesn't seem like my download folder actually dissapeared, because even after i reboot and check the folder (i check it by downloading some file btw) the old files i downloaded is still there, i literally have no idea what's happening

Neither do we but you're most likely looking at the wrong location, the browser will typically allow you to open the download location in a filemanager, pay attention to what path it opens.
And that path is then typically also configurable (so you can perhaps also just check your browser settings)

no like, the directory is /home/[my name]/Download, but it just doesn't show up

also, new discovery, if i create new folder in that download page, it'll create it, but it'll never show up as well

but yeah, i think rn it's better to just make a new path, thanks

What does this actually mean? Where / when does it not "show up"? Where do you expect it to "show up"?

i just noticed that not only the download folder not visible, the content i download is also not visible (i test it by downloading something in /home/[name],

btw the command also doesn't show the download folder or the downloaded file

... How are you asserting that? What are you using to "look at stuff"? what do you get from

ls -l ~/Download

Scimmia · 2024-04-06 16:03:27

Also give us the output of `env`.

You (and some others here) keep referring to "/home/pcpu/Download". But unless you've configured things to use that directory, most gui programs would use "/home/pcpu/Downloads". So how about the output of `ls -l ~/Downloads`?

yeah, it says "`ls: cannot access '/home/pcpu/Downloads': No such file or directory" that's the output, it really does look like there's no folder named download but other signs supports the fact that it does exist

So maybe we get some hard data into this
1. what's your browser
2. what does the download configuration of your browser look like (link a screenshot)
3.

did you test whether that works?
4. Download http://0x0.st/is.txt and then run

find ~ -name is.txt

uhh, what should the output be? because it didn't give me any

seth · 2024-04-09 15:18:27

The location of the text you just downloaded.
There's something severely wrong with your system.
What are the outputs of

lsblk -f
mount
touch ~/foo

V1del · 2024-04-09 15:19:13

it should show the path of the downloaded file, assuming you actually downloaded it somewhere

But that's the last thing in a series of steps you are expected to provide information from, what about all the other things?

Trilby · 2024-04-09 15:27:10

In addition to the other data requested, the following would be good:

find /tmp /run -name is.txt

also, another new thing, download directory is gone, but when i download files it still behave like "usual", not appearing but it exist

seth · 2024-04-14 19:31:28

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.
Also please don't bump the thread, just edit your previous post if nobody has yet replied.

There's just the root partition, but the output of

touch ~/foo

is missing (if there was any?)

but when i download files it still behave like "usual", not appearing but it exist

This is incomprehensible.

Can I also suggest we try this outside of Hyprland, or any other DE? Change to a different console using Ctrl-Alt-F3 (for example), log in, and post the output of

ls -l

and

pwd

and, for good measure,
