[SOLVED] Problem with pcmanfm after fresh installation keeping old home folder

philkrem · 03-13-2021, 12:59 PM

Hello,

I have the following problem:
had been using Debian Jessie up until now and decided to newly install Debian Buster. I decided to keep my old home folder. Everything seems to work so far, but I have a problem with pcmanfm, which seems to be related to some user permission problem(?). It crashed immediately after starting. The command line gives some gtk-warnings, and then says

Code:

Segmentation fault

However, I am able to run pcmanfm as sudo, and I also crated a new user, where it is also no problem.

I have removed all the configuration files I could think of, but it is still persisting.
Does this have something to do with user rights?

Any help would be appreciated!

Best,
Ph

...I managed to get it to work by changing the folder ~/.local to ~/.local.bak
something in there must have caused trouble.

I'll consider it solved. Thank you!
