** Description changed: How to repeat: I. set up an ext4 by some other linux,e.g. Fedora, put your "home" into that, e.g. my name is Mike, then there is folder named "Mike" in the /home/ directory 2. install ubuntu, and say your name is "BuggyUbuntu", and set the "home" the mounting point to the one in step 1 3. There will be two directories in /home/, one is "Mike", the other is "BuggyUbuntu". 4. Add an administrator user named "Mike" 5. Change "BuggyUbuntu" from "administrator" to "standard" user 6. Log out - 7. Now nice, you can never login to "Mike" because the permission problem - 8. You can never change anything because you do not have any administrator, cannot even add any account - 9. The only solution will be deleting Ubuntu + + 7. Now nice, you can never login to "Mike" because the permission + problem + + 8.
