I've just replaced Kubuntu with FC6 on my desktop machine: 1.3 gHz Duron processor with 1GB RAM. My /home partition from Kubuntu was not formated, / was. I used the same username on both machines. When I try to log in, I get a message that permision is denied, and that the system cannot create ~/.gnome2 directory. The /home/user directory is set to permissions 644 and both the group and owner are 'user', so I don't see why it can't create the directory. When I log into the console as root, I can cd into /home/user. However, when I log in as user I as put into / and I cannot cd into /home/user. What must I do? Thanks in advance.
