Summary: Wrong ownership of user home directory in
LM9.2rc1/LM9.2rc2
Product: Installation
Version: 1.827
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This problem was there in LM9.2rc1 and is also there in LM9.2rc2.
- I did a clean install (NOT an upgrade). The partition / is formatted while
/home is kept intact. During installation, only non-root user added is "ndeb".
- After installation is complete, the system is rebooted and I login as user
"ndeb" only to find that the ownership of /home/ndeb (and all files in it)
belongs to user with UID 502, which is different from user "ndeb" because
/etc/group shows this one entry:
ndeb:x:501:
Also, there is _no_ UID 502 in /etc/group or /etc/passwd .
Naturally, I can't read many files in my own home directory!! The only way out
is to be root and change the ownership of /home/ndeb to ndeb using "chmod -R".
This problem was not there in LM9.2beta 1 and 2.
