Why is there an Ubuntu account in your Arch Linux configuration?
Also, you didn't answer my very important questions:
drcouzelis wrote:
Does the directory "/home/arch" exist?
What are the permissions on that directory?
drwx------ 2 1001 users 4096 Jan 2 18:46 kiru

i use common /home directory for arch and ubunutu

The owner of the "/home/kiru" directory is user number "1001". That's probably the user ID of your username in Ubuntu.

If you just want to fix the ownership of that directory in Arch Linux, then use the "chown" command to recursively change the ownership to "kiru:users".

If you want to use this home directory for both Ubuntu and Arch Linux (which I think is a very bad idea), then I think you need to change the user ID of "kiru" in the "/etc/passwd" file to match the user ID in Ubuntu.

...I think fixing the ownership of the "/etc/kiru" by using either of the two methods above will allow you to log in.

You might have mentioned that at the beginning of the thread...

the ownership info that i pasted was taken while using ubuntu so it was shown as 1001
in arch linux it is shown as kiru itself

as you mentioned i changed ownership result is same

are you sure the problem is with home directory

kiru · 2014-01-03 18:56:08

before using archlinux i shared common directory for ubunut and debian and there was no problem

drcouzelis · 2014-01-03 18:57:04

GAAAAAAAH! No, I have no idea what the problem is because you keep changing between the "arch" user and the "kiru" user and Ubuntu and Arch Linux!

If you want further help, answer all of our questions again from Arch Linux.

since i cannot login login to arch linux i am browsing from ubuntu so each time i have to restart my laptop, please forgive me

kiru · 2014-01-03 19:09:21

i have two os in my laptop one ubuntu and one is archlinux
i share common home folder /home
my username in archlinux : kiru
file permission of /home/kiru is like this

drwx------  2  kiru users  4096 Jan  4 19:36 kiru

I forgive you.

The reason (in my opinion) that sharing a home directory between Arch Linux and Ubuntu is a very bad idea is because different versions of software will be writing configuration files to the same directories. Maybe it will cause a problem and maybe it won't. I'd rather not have to guess.

Sharing all of your personal files (documents, pictures, music...) between operating systems is no problem.

That looks good. Please show the "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/shadow" files from Arch Linux.

EDIT: You don't have to boot into Arch Linux to look at those files!

cofiguration files resides in users file inside home directory they are not shared and the use of /home directory is to share it between os and while reinstallation,my guess

the reason the username was shown as 1001 was because the user kiru was unknown to ubuntu and i pasted the o/p of file permission from ubuntu

Why are you sharing your home folder with an Ubuntu install and how did you do that (i.e. did you reserve an empty partition when you installed Ubuntu a while ago and then install Arch on that? Just seems weird that you'd have an empty partition to install Arch on... ) ?

when i installed ubuntu i reserved a separate /home partition,
since i reinstall os many time /home is necessary.
when i installed arch linux i just mounted the same home partition (device /dev/sda6) as
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home
.
now i can share home partition between ubuntu and archlinux
for ubuntu
/home/kiran 
for archlinux
/home/kiru

OK, next question: Please show me the permissions of these 4 files and directories in Arch Linux:

/
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/bash

(The "-d" option of "ls" might help: for example, "ls -l -d /")

(EDIT: The way you are using "/home" for two different users makes sense to me. Sounds good!)

Yay! That looks like the problem!

Resetting the permissions and ownership should fix it:

# chown root:root /
# chmod 755 /
