One user can log in the rest can't.
I installed 18.3 and created users for me and my kids. I can log in, kids can't -- after them entering their respective passwords the screen turns black for about 2 seconds, then the login screen comes back. No error message. Google didn't help. Any ideas here?

Iwill try that, when I come home. What is the mechanism mint uses to connect users to their home directories? Is it the username, a user-ID (like 1001) and how can one check or change that "connection"?

Easiest to delete the few users you created, and re-add them with the "-m" flag, and specify their home directories. Will automatically get created with proper permissions and skeleton files. |

Okay. I'll read the man page and look at /etc/passwd. Quote:
Here the problem is, that these directories exist on an extra partition and hold some data from a former installation of 17.3. I want to keep and re-use them. Never had this problem before ... :scratch:. |
Gah. Solved. And so easy, thanks TB0ne: The user:group values of my children just were exchanged (son <-> daughter), simply "chown -R <son>:<son> /home/<son> or daughter as it is and all is well. Thread marked as solved. There are situations or days when one is simply dense, it seems. Thanks again.
