If you mean the subdirectories in your home for MUSIC PICTURES and whatever else, that would be xdg-user-dirs and xdg-utils. If those are installed, look in /etc/xdg/ if you want to edit the configs. There are a few xdg- commands, too. You might be interested in xdg-user-dirs-update.

If you mean /home/<username> does not exist, then you somehow failed to create a user during the installation. You would have had to say no when asked if you wanted to create a user. In an already-installed system, the adduser command does all the things you need to create a user. You can change those defaults in /etc/adduser.conf.

I did a netinstall of the latest kali. Select and install software was broken so went ahead anyway. Added light mate desktop

Stunned to see that it happily retains your user defined backgrounds across reboots.

Question? Which package or procedure provides the magic where you get your special home folders generated? I seem to keep doing net installs and not getting a proper home directory

which MATE version you have installed from devuan or from hezeh.org??

Here's a simper diff showing what mate packages we have. Anything that starts with a + is one that I have and you don't. Anything that starts with - is one you have that I don't. The only one of those is mate-tweak, and when I added it (without Recommends) it didn't fix the problem. Not sure where to go with this now.

Note: That vertical bar that we use to pipe the output of one command to another is called a pipe. Or it could mean "OR" when there are two in a row.

Same procedure used as for the 3.1.0 install, only difference is runit on 3.1.0 and openrc on 3.0.0.

I guess there must be a bug somewhere in Mate. Strangely enough my workstation is fine.

My comment was copied and pasted from your example.

In just pasted it into terminal on this my lmde3 main machine, and, wait, a package-list appeared in /home..

So I figured maybe I needed a desktop so I went on another getty and did a startx and had no kb or mouse so now I am stuck with avril lavign looping in moc until the battery dies

,,,sorry for the delay, that list is coming...

OK, so I needed to install awk-original, and had missed the  |  (what do you call the upright bar?)

I get:

dpkg-query: no packages found matching /^ii/ { print $2 " " $3 }

what did I do wrong?

update: am using runit on the 3.1 problem box, sysvinit on the no-problem upgraded box

Then right-click desktop to change background. Neither show up when I navigate to the directory that holds the files I just added.

Next step is to click on the Add button and add those pictures. Then select one and close that window.

Then try to change the bg again, and the added image that I'm not currently using no longer shows up. It's still in the directory, but my desktop has forgotten about it.

update/upgrade did not change it.

I think we need to compare package lists.

dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 " " $3 }' > pkglist-debian

Do the same to make pkglist-devuan and compare them. Send them to me and I'll compare them (I have a script to do that).

It will always persist if it's your current background and the file is present, so far...
