Description of problem: After the upgrade to Fedora 35 using the upgrade tool and following the documentation when my system was rebooted I was unable to login as a normal user. When I was able to login as root, I saw that the content of the /home/user directory was root:root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 35 How reproducible: Follow the upgrade guide (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/dnf-system-upgrade/) but this may be a one off and not happen again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf upgrade --refresh 2. sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade 3. sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=35 4. sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot Actual results: Was unable to login with my user account, even after unlocking the account and resetting the password. Expected results: Login to the user like normal with no issues. Additional info: Had to chown -R user:user /home/user then in GNOME set the user account to auto login one time before all started working again.
I understand your problem but we cannot do much. DNF it self is not changing ownership of home directory. I suggest the problem is related to one of updated packages during system-upgrade. To see details about system-upgrade transaction, you can use `dnf system-upgrade log`, then `dnf system-upgrade log --number=<number>` (in my case it was 1), or from `dnf history` pick the right transaction number and then use `dnf history info <number>`. With `dnf system-upgrade log --number=<number>` you can see all output during transaction (I recommend to search for dnf `/dnf`) therefore there can be some hint related to your problem. I know it involves thousands of packages but there is no other way I guess. When you will have a candidate, please change the component to the suspicious package. I am changing the component to the distribution, because I do not have a better option right now.
Created attachment 1843159 [details] system-upgrade log I could not find anything that directly changes my home permission, but I added my system-upgrade log
