There are different ways to cure that, but synchronising your UID on the
two machines is perhaps the most transparent way:
$ sudo usermod -u 1000 gene # Change uid on the other box: 500 -> 1000
# (Have to stay > 1000 on the ubuntu box.)
# From the manpage:
# Any files which the user owns and which
# are located in the directory tree rooted
# at the user´s home directory will have
# the file user ID changed automatically.
# Files outside the user´s home directory
# must be altered manually.
# This'll do that last bit, if needed:
$ sudo find / -uid 500 -exec chown gene '{}' \;
To check first whether it finds what we want (if any are there to be
found):
$ sudo find / -uid 500 -exec ls '{}' \; | more
That'll be easier to keep straight than any "autotranslation" which
tries to make one uid out of two, after the horse has bolted, I suspect.
Hope that's sorta useful, Gene.
