The UUIDs in the SSD /etc/fstab were generated during the fresh Fedora install and match those returned by blkid, so I don't think there is an issue there. > >> I think it boots, as I don't think I would get to the login prompt, but >> it >> keeps returning to the prompt. >> I have checked user:group stuff (/etc/group) and that is the same for >> both >> discs. > > Strange about the login situation. > > When you copied / .... how did you do that exactly?

I was booted into my old disk, and the SSD was mounted as (something like) "/run/media/terry/xxxx...", and I used rsync as follows; "sudo rsync -av I was booted into the SSD and had my old / partition mounted, can't remember exactly but something like "/run/media/xxx...", and I think I used rsync as follows; "sudo rsync -av /run/media/xxx/ /" > > If the user id number(s) have changed, then you might have issues with > incorrect owner for the homedirs. Do you mean the numbers for user:group that are in /etc/group? Both systems have me (user terry) as 1000:1000. I think it is a permission issue, I have just found (on the SSD, the one which keeps returning to login) that "~/xsession-errors" says "Failed to run command: Permission denied", and that's all, no clue as where that permission error is.
