permission denied in home folder

i've got a basic arch system running and have happily been using it for a couple of weeks now.

I tried to use PCmanFM to handle the desktop (ontop of openbox) but decided against it to go back to feh for the wallpaper.

Since then i get permission errors in my home folder- i cant cd into directorys, mkdir or rm in ~. I can cd into other directorys fine though.

ls -l shows that i have rwx permission?

Re: permission denied in home folder

Try:

sudo chown -R USERNAME /home/USERNAME
