This seems to be already tracked as bug #1665521. Definitely not a bug of the basesystem package. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1665521 *** |
Description of problem: After each reboot an empty folder with random name appears in home directory. Each time name is new and does not look like anything meaningful, more like some garbage. To give you an example, here are a few names exactly as reported by "ls -l -a" drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:23 ' '$'\326' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:21 ''$'\240\335' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:19 ''$'\240\355\346''3tU' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:18 ''$'\260\323' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:12 ''p'$'\351' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:08 '0'$'\304' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 12:05 '0'$'\305' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 11:57 '0'$'\327' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 11:53 '@'$'\327' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 11:50 'p'$'\351' drwxrwxr-x 2 adontz adontz 6 Jan 14 11:47 'p'$'\351' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Install fresh Fedora 29 with KDE using netinstall image. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 2. Reboot 3. LogIn Actual results: After each reboot and login an empty folder with random name appears in home directory. Expected results: No random directories created. Additional info: These directories cannot be deleted from Dolphin, only from command line. HDD is not damaged, checked. Also, at the moment I write this, it already happens on three distinct computers. Just logout and login is not enough, restart is required, but directories are created at login moment. Also, I have tried to use auditd/auditctl to find out which process created these folders with the following rule -a exit,always -F dir=/home/" then tried to find anything useful from audit log with grep -P -o 'name="[^"]+"' /var/log/audit/audit.log but I have found no related records.
