Almost certainly a permissiopns issue, espcially as he mentioned it was a fresh install mounting an old /home. I'd be wary of chmodding everything 666 and 777 personally, as certain things might need other perms. Besides, 644 and 755 are more secure. @Mark: open a terminal, become root, type 'ls -la'. Should reveal the problem if it's a permissions issue. Perhaps your UID is different in the new system from the previous one, in which case a simple 'chown -R' should fix it. -- ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ ♫ ❤ Indulekha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
