Dear Lauri,

I have another issue with Scratchbox2 (hopefully, all these issues will help in having a better final product).

The problem is as follows. When the user is just called "user", Scratchbox2 can't ls some directories.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

 1. Create a user called "user" on the system:

    sudo adduser user
    ...

 2. Install Scratchbox2 somewhere into user's home directory

 3. Create a directory "foo" inside /home/user:

    mkdir /home/user/foo

 4. Enter this directory:

    cd /home/user/foo

 5. Start Scratchbox2:

    sb2

 6. Type a ls command:

    ls


At this point, ls complains saying that cannot open the directory...

I discovered this bug by installing Scratchbox on Ubuntu running on VMware (on my vmware images the default user is called "user"). Then I tried to create that user on my Ubuntu 8.04 to see if it was related to vmware or not. The problem happens also on a "real" Ubuntu, so it's not related to vmware.

My opinion is that on some script you may have forgotten a "$" sign before some variable called "user".

However, this problem may be related to Qemu and not to Scratchbox.

Let me know if I can give you more information.

Best regards,

           Claudio
