I've run Hardy on a few computers where the home directories were NFS- mounted. Because of some NFS-problems they would sometimes lose the connection, and thus the users would have no home directory. In that case, there would always be a notification box right after login which said something like "I cannot find the home directory /home/username. This is llikely to break things, but you may try to log in if you wish. Click OK to log in or Cancel to cancel." (in a much better wording).
I'm not sure if it was gdm or some other component that did this. The computers had gdm, but otherwise both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop was installed and I would usually log in to KDE, but I guess without the home directory there was no way for gdm to know that. So is it the new, fast, and feature stripped gdm that shipped with Karmic that turned this into a problem? -- Xorg misbehaves when user home directory is missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
