Sometimes linux looses it. I added a second user using userdrake. When I tried to logon to the new account. I get "No Write Permission on HOME " KDE can't start. SO, although the new home has the same permissions as my home, I change the permission to 777 on new HOME. Tried to log on again (without rebooting), and it worked. I thought, OK problem solved. Wrong! After I rebooted, it got the same error, THE PERMISSONS WERE SET BACK TO ORIGINAL VALUES!! I repeated the chmod again just to make sure I wasn't nuts. I wasn't.
I opened userdrake and it had the userid = 500 and groupid = 500. BUT doing an ls -l on /home shows that the new home has user and group both 502 ???? Linux has almost defeated me! mike.
