From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: After firstboot configuration and creation of a user, I tried logging in but my desktop refused to come up. I was pleasantly surprised that this problematic situation was detected and that I was offered a chance to have a look inside the .xsession-errors. The problem itself was rather simple: since I had kept my old Mandrake /home partition and the same username, the user and group ownership information was incorrect. I feel this could have been detected by the firstboot program and the permissions correctly changed. To solve this, I instead had to switch to the console and chown my home directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Keep old /home partition from previous install with user 'x' 2. Create user 'x' at firstboot 3. Try to login Actual Results: Unable to login Expected Results: /home/x should have been chown'ed to proper permissions Additional info:
