Has anybody faced this problem in Linux.

Question

Creating a user using 'createuser' command and switching to the user and u don't find the Desktop directory along with all other directories that are usually created like documents, downloads etc?

However these all will be created once we login through this user on a graphical environment.

My question is how to do this when u have only command line access to the system

Answer 1

All the directory gets created and set up only after you login to new user account.
You might need this to change account in the Terminal:

Thanks charan & niush. NIUSH, I have access to server through ssh and I have tried successful login using the new user... I didn't see all directories created...after login...

Answer 3

Sorry, But if you mean accessing other user folders may be this will help.

chmod -R a+r /home/user/
