[SOLVED] Changes made to Desktop folder in GUI not reflected in terminal (Pop!OS 18.04 LTS; Cinnamon; nemo; gnome-terminal)
by jasonc3a from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54D6P)
Using Pop!OS 18.04 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS), and whenever I change file contents of my Desktop (it seems to only be that folder) using the GUI, when I go to that location in the terminal type Code:$ ls -al it will show me file contents from many days ago. It doesn't reflect things that I've deleted, things I've renamed, or things that I've added.
Furthermore, when I try to navigate to a new folder that I've created, e.g. Code:$ cd ~/Desktop/test/ I get an error "No such file or directory". I can see changes immediately reflected everywhere's else but not the desktop. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance.
