When I reboot, I get as far as the login screen, but my password is not accepted. The login screen keeps reappearing asking for a password.
Any suggestions as to what I may have missed out?
Are the ownership and permissions to /home & /home/user correct from when you did the copy? (ie you did something like 'rsync -a /home /tmpnewxfsmountpoint/' to preserve permissions as it recursed). You can switch to a virtual console (CTRL+ALT+F1) and login as root to check. Try logging in at that or one of the other (F2...F6) virtual consoles as your regular user too, which will confirm that your password is correct and skip the auto-login/graphical complexities. Press CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to the graphical login screen. Daniel
