Hi,
For some reason my /tmp directory keeps resetting to 0755 and I would
have to manually resetting back to the correct permissions 1777
everytime. I figured this out when I couldn't start my X server the
other day and this was the issue.
I did find this question
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/490995/why-is-tmp-mounted-with-permissions-0755-when-fstab-has-1777> that
might be related somehow but I don't want to mess with my /etc/fstab yet
until I know for sure that it is the issue. Could it have something to
do with my XDG variables/confs are set up? I've attached is my fstab if
it would help at all.
I will appreciate any help on this.
It's not your fstab. but I would change the fsck order for sda2 and
efivarfs to zero.
From fstab it looks like you are using the system V book.
Check /etc/sysconfig/createfiles to see if anything weird is there.
Also, check ~/bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc for
chmod commands. Also anything in /etc/profile.d.
Another thing to try is to edit /etc/inittab and set initdefault to 1.
You can also edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg kernel line to add init=/bin/bash
to skip all boot scripts. You can also do the last two items via the
grub interactive shell.
You can also edit /etc/sysconfig/rc.site and uncomment:
#IPROMPT="yes"
Then, upon boot, when the interactive startup message comes up, press
"I". You can then step through the boot scripts. You may need to edit
some boot scripts to add 'ls -ld /tmp' temporarily to see when the
permissions change.
