Installation glitches

Hello,

I already have kde version and today, I installed arch gnome version on a separate partition. The installation went fine but at the end I got some glicthes.

I can log in only as root.
When I try to login as user I get the following errors:

Couldn't update .ICEauthority
Couldn't create the following folders:
/home/mak/Desktop
/home/mak/ .nautilus

Also when reboot the screen goes blank and hangs. I have to use the reboot button.

Thanks for the advises.

Sounds like a permission problem.  Can you confirm the user owns their $HOME?

At which stage of rebooting does this occur?

Re: Installation glitches

The home folder has these permissions:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096

It hangs right after I click on the restart button.

That would be fine for /home/.  If that's /home/mak/, that would be the cause of your problems.  If so, you'll might want to use something like:

chown -R mak:users /home/mak/

Sounds like it could be a problem with X, but I can only suggest to take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  I'm not sure what might cause it.

Thanks Ghpln,

This solved the $HOME directory problem.
But the hanging after reboot still pesists. I checked the log file but found nothing suspicious.
But now, I have another problem, I installed gimp but the file seems to be corrupted but for that one I open a new topic.
