Ubiquity should check for the existence of the user's home directory. I always upgrade Ubuntu by means of fresh installs, formatting my / partition and leaving my /home partition untouched. Usually I'll move /home/pablo to /home/pablo.old before doing that, but now upgrading to lucid alpha 3 I forgot to do it. I chose to reinstall -without even trying to reboot- to avoid mismatching settings etc.
It would be great if ubiquity offered to move the directory out of the way (possibly as $HOME/Old\ Personal\ Folder or something), in addition to just using it as-is. chowning it should definitely be done in either case. -- Admin user confusion with user directory exists by different ID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
