Rebuilt a system on saturday, did lots of setup (steam/flatpaks/mountingdrives/etc) on Sunday. Come back to it on Monday, and I can’t login.
Is the Boot to login > Login submitted > Refreshes back to login screen - a known problem?
Does that known problem indicate specific problem areas?
And are there any logical next steps to take?
Thank you.
Please show:
ls -ld /home/*
Boot to “what” login??
Which DE are you using?
You might try this if you have a GUI login screen displayed:
Tap CTRL + ALT + F1 (or CTRL + fn + ALT + F1)
At the (text-mode) terminal login screen, login with your user account.
Any error(s) ??
alright, based off the output it looks like it may relate to my action yesterday in attempting to mount a drive:
sudo chown -R me:me /home/Storage1-Med
me@localhost:/> ls -ld /home/*
drdxr-xr-x 4 me me 4096 Nov 23 21:31 /home/Storage1-Med
In your other thread you wanted to add an additional drive. This output now shows, that you do no longer have a home partition for your user me. The directory should be /home/me for your user. So somewhere along the path of adding an additional drive, you managed to remove your home directory.
Inspect the content of /home/Storage1-Med via ls. Possibly you only renamed/mounted /home/me to /home/Storage1-Med. That would be the easiest issue to solve.
If /home/Storage1-Med does not contain the usual home content, you maybe deleted the me directory or unmounted it.
thank you.
alright, no idea how i did that using the yast partitioner creation>mounting tool followed by the CHOWN command, but i’ll reinstall from scratch again…
returning to the original desire of a GUI method to:
a) install tumbelweed kde on an SSD
b) create a partition on a separate HDD
c) mount that partition with write permissions
Is there a documented method to do so using Yast Partitioner?
n.b. considering that b) is now done, so what I want to achieve is i suppose just a) and c) this time around.
Easy way in yast is.
mount to /home/separate HDD = will have a write permission> I think
