Still cannot log-in if home folder is on a data partition NOT mounted undedr /home but as data and linked to.
This sounds like could be a disparity between UIDs/GIDs in /etc/passwd output, on /home/* without any filesystem mounted upon it, and those on the filesystem you wish mounted to /home/. Mount that filesystem somewhere other than /home/, then doing the following: tail /etc/passwd (*) ls -dn /home/ ls -n /home/ ls -n /mountpoint-of-data-filesystem/ Compare output of these to see if the username and groupnames correctly correlate among those outputs for each existing regular user that needs a GUI login to work. * If relevant username/groupname do not appear in tail output, simply scan the file with any file viewer for the relevant username(s) and groupname(s) applicable for/to the needed comparison. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
