Well if it is the Gnome then watch out the window after typing the code:
Code:
Code: Select all
gnome-about
After that a window will come into view which will say you "Welcome to the Gnome Desktop", and the Version you use.
after that open a terminal and enter the command:
Code:
Code: Select all
pwd
(print working directory)
You should see somewhat like
Code:
Code: Select all
/home/yourUserName
Next what you do is:
Code:
Code: Select all
ls -l
Lists directories and files (at the end: l, not L or digit 1)
afterward you have to locate the directory which holds your folder - perhaps you previously observe it.
To unlock: (e.g. Downloads)
Code:
Code: Select all
cd Downloads
And to observe the content, another time
Code:
Code: Select all
ls -l
Bookmarks
