Damn! That's why someone said once, "Don't do other things while you are hungry". Basically, I was hungry and at that point of time I had to move a directory inside Desktop to another directory.
What I should have done:
mv Desktop/"directory1" /"directory2"
What I did:
mv Desktop/ ls (ls being the second argument)
I don't know why I did that. But it's already done and it's gone!
Now all I can see on my violet ubuntu Wallpaper are all the files and stuffs of my Home Directory and my Desktop is gone and moved to where, I don't know.
It's like, "Where do people go after they die?"
Is it possible to get back my Desktop somehow? Anyhow?
# find / -name Desktop*
and see what comes upmv Desktop /
(moveDesktop
to the filesystem root directory/
) - the commandmv Desktop/
should have just errored out with a message likemv: missing destination file operand after ‘Desktop/’
mv Desktop/ls
as far as I remember. Is it worse?history
will tell you
