I have just installed Ubuntu, but I cannot use it because it seems like I do not have any files, even Documents. Do you have any idea why I cannot see any files?



talina@DESKTOP:~$ pwd
/home/talina
talina@DESKTOP:~$ ls
talina@DESKTOP:~$ cd Documents
-bash: cd: Documents: No such file or directory

    Did you install the "Desktop" (GUI) version of Ubuntu - or the "Server" version?

  • Try ls -al to see any hidden files. And basically the same Q as steeldriver, is there a GUI? Did you create the talina user yourself, with adduser or useradd, or did the installer?

  • @Xen2050 it does not change anything when i use ls -al. I am using the server version. I created the username during the installation; Ubuntu asked me for a user name and a password

    The Documents, Downloads etc. directories are not populated in Ubuntu server installs - you can create any directories you wish manually using the mkdir command
