error login as normal user
hi all
i'm using slack 10.1 . when log in as normal user it says Quote:
- i have tried to login with root account and switch to normal user . - i have tried to login to gnome and kde . nothing at all how could i correct this problem |
first of all. How did you create the new user?
You are supposed to create it through adduser script and not useradd command. Second if you create the directory as root make sure to give the correct ownership: Code:
chown -R slack.users /home/slack |
thanks alot
i've created it with useradd not adduser but want to ask you what's different between them |
adduser is slackware scripts that involves useradd command and ensures that the correct permissions/ownerships are given. It's also interactive.

Quote:
'useradd' does not create home directories or add the user to groups unless these options are explicitly specified on the command line. |
thank you guys
slackware looks complicated but with people like you i'll do it |

You might have to do something about your name though... Mandriva... o_O |
You should probably get a copy of the slackbook.
