Hello everyone,

I've just cloned a user now, to do it I created a new user and erase all it's home, then copy the source user to the dest, I did a chown -R ...,
I'm familliar with this.

But in this case, on a Debian Bullseye I have something strange :
Logged with my new user, each time I open a terminal, it comes in the home directory of the source user, same for Libreoffice and all programs.
I checked /etc/passwd and the correct home directory is specified;

If in a terminal I just type cd, it comes in the new user home. normal.

Do you have an idea of what happend please ?

check ~/.bashrc and similar files (including LO). Probably they still contain the path of the original user.

The kernel knows nothing about user names. It goes strictly by the UID. Do your two users have the same UID?

Hello and thanks,

Of course I checked .bashrc .profile, user id etc...

I forgot to say that I use XFCE, I think it is related to it.

I found the problem in .config/xfce4 but too many files impacted to change.

I suppose that I have to convert my user config to a "sort of template" and then create the second user with the "so called" template but I don't know how to do this at the moment.....

You could read up on the uses of /etc/skel ....
