Hi,
I have a weird issue. Some directories and files on my system seems to only “exist” on the terminal. To be a little bit more explicit, if I open the GUI file explorer (I don’t know how it’s called), some files will be missing, and also won’t be accessible from anything other than a terminal (it seems).
For example, I created an html file called ‘index.html’ with VIM on the terminal. It doesn’t display on the GUI file browser, and if I try to open it from the terminal:
xdg-open index.html
Firefox will open, but will tell me that the file can’t be found. However, if I do it as root:
sudo xdg-open index.html
It will open, but on a graphical text editor (Pluma).
It is probably something stupid from my part but I really don’t understand what’s going on.
What am I doing wrong?
