[SOLVED] Error when I try to access the new user in Mageia 2

[macxi]

Hi,

I have created new user with MCC (in KDE Mageia 2 - 32bit) and then I configure and restart the computer for once or twice, without problem.

In the third or fourth time I can not access the user and appears the following error message:

Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full? )
Check your installtion
Okay

There are space on HD and new user is automatically numbered as 501. Accessing the dolphin as root, I saw that the owners of these folders are nobody and nogroup

I have created three users in two different installations of Mageia 2 and appears always the same error.

Any suggestions?

are you saying the new user's /home directory is owned by "nobody?" That would appear to be a samba user.

I created a new user with the Mageia 2 in virtualbox and is working without problems:




But the installation of a new user in Mageia 2 in HD, does not work. I have no idea why this error occurs.

have you tried if running drakuser from a terminal (as root)
some intresting error messages appears?

I accessed the drakuser as root with other old user. When I access the drakeuser as root, no appears warning. Only appears the warning below, when I select the option to edit the user.

[user-mageia-2-kde@localhost ~]$ su -

See the difference?

A

Code: Select all

chown -R mga2-2012:mga2-2012 /home/mga2-2012

as root should fix the ownership.

[macxi]

# ls -la /home
drwxr-x--x 25 nobody nogroup 4096 Oct 27 05:36 mga2-2012
drwxr-x--x 54 mageia-2 mageia-2 4096 Oct 29 15:37 mageia-2/

See the difference?

Yes, I saw the difference, I just don't know why the Mageia 2 is causing this error (Indicate that the owner of the new user is nobody nogroup).

I created a new user in Mageia 2, installed on virtualbox, and this error didn't appear.

Doktor5000,
I fixed the property of the new user and then I can access it: SOLVED
