I've had the same problem when upgrading from 9.10 (clean install) to 10.04 using the upgrade tool.
Tried to fix it by doing a sudo users-admin and fixing the permissions. This did work at first, but after a few reboots (and maybe some updates) things started to break down again. Could not shut-down the computer, could not mount external drives (ntfs/fat). However the permissions in users-admin looked ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477832 Title: User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
