[opensuse] lnusertemp, check installation
Due to a harddisk breakdown I had to do a new install of Opensuse 11.1. Luckely I made a complete copy of my home directory just a week ago because I was already unsure about the functioning of my old harddisk. Installation went well. I copied the copy of my home to the new install and expected to have everything up and running. Names of the home directory and the UID is for both 1000. But just as the desktop (KDE4.2) should show up I get following info: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?) Check your installation. What did I do wrong? And how can I get the desktop running again. My temporary directory is /was empty. To be sure that the desktop is working I made a new user which is working as expected so it must have something to do with my copied home directory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are links to temporary directories in your ~/.kde4: tmp-$HOSTNAME, cache-$HOSTNAME, and socket-$HOSTNAME. Perhaps they are broken for your user? Compare them with the ones of your new user.

Dear Jan, Looked for broken links but was not sucesful. have checked with the working user but did not find a clue where it differs.

You are so right but sometimes it would be nice if you can skip the learning part ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Can you post output of: ll ~.kde4 for user that has problems and the one that haven't. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Not only the symlinks are missing, you are missing the write permissions, too! Gruß Jan -- Old programmers never die. They just branch to a new address. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Before I asked for ll, I was thinking why kde didn't create links :) My $HOME before this installation was used from few partitions and it had few sets of invalid symlinks. So KDE is not shy to create new one, but this time something went wrong with Constant installation. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you make your backup on FAT filesystems, as typical of memory sticks? Then, that's the cause of your problem. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
