Revision history [back]

Hello Sailors,

Due to a mishap entirely of my own fault I deleted my /home/nemo/.local/share :/ Now, most of the stuff in there isn't all that important and I have restored some of it from an old backup. However, some things are and make apps misbhave if they're missing, and ciritcal system files were not included in that backup.

I have the following questions:

1. One of the affected storages is the non-privileged contacts database at ~/.local/share/system/Contacts/. This was re-created by restarting contactsd.service, but it is empty now. How is this database populated from the "privileged" one?
2. What is the defauult content of ~/.local/share with no third-party apps installed? Can I restore it from somewhere?
   • specifically, what are the contents, and permissions of:
     • ~/.local/share/jolla-email/
     • ~/.local/share/jolla-notes/
     • ~/.local/share/org.sailfishos/
     • ~/.local/share/Sailfish
     • ~/.local/share/system/
   • Anything else to know about that dir?

Thank you very much for any insights you can share.
