Cannot log in as user | |

Junior Mitglied Posts: 2 Registered: 2007-11-13 | I have just installed paldo 1.12 stable. When I try to log in as user (username/passw) This message pops up:
"Users $HOME /.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permission. User $HOME dir must be owned by user and not writable by other users"
Installation worked fine and I have no problems login in as root. I am used to, that when I add a user, the user is assigned to his /home/username.
And why can't I use the "adduser" command in terminal.
Thanks for all the help I can get. |

You should try to fix the permission issues (chown -R yourusername:yourusername /home/yourusername).
The installer doesn't touch your home directory if it already exists.
"adduser" is no standard command in GNU/Linux, it's called "useradd" (adduser is available in Debian). |

I'm not an experienced linuxuser but I'm using both Arch and Slackware, and I got curious about the paldo "concept",-like it and look forward to try it out.
Standard or not, adduser is used in both Arch and Slackware.  Thanks a lot! |
