I have decided to start my SuSE 7 installation on a new HD with a Reiser fs. Everything went fine, until I logged into X as a non-root user. Kde, or any other wm for that matter, won't start. I looked into the matter, and realised that when I created new users with yast, the corresponding home directory could not be created . I created the home user directory manually, changed owners, group, and the permissions, but I still can't get it to work: Kde launches, announces 'creating /home/userx/.kde... , and then complains about the permissions not being right. I checked and rechecked the permissions, and all seems right to me. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't Yast (1) create the home directory for the new user I have created, and automatically set the right RWX permissions? I there something I have overlooked in Reiserfs? I would appreciate your learned opinions.

Has nothing to do with ReiserFS. What do you use for home, /home? So what does 'ls -al /home' say? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
