Incidentally whilst you're in the middle of cleaning up the system you really should move your UID to something over 1000 ... There's a lot of stuff that no longer works as expected with a UID around 500 (have you checked you login.defs recently)? Seeing a display manager with a UID higher than your own ought to be a warning sign ;) -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
