I updated Gutsy using Gutsy's Update to the latest version. After putting in my username and password(after the update), I get the following message:
"Your /Home directory does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the /(Root) as your Home directory? It is unlikely it will work work unless you use fail/safe session."
Responding with "No" takes me back to the logon screen.
Responding with "Yes" elicited the following message:
"User's $Home/.dmrc is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permission. User's $Home
directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users."
I click on "OK" ( the only option available with this message) and i am taken to a blank screen.
Can anyone help? GRUB is still functioning - I am stil presented with the choice of booting into Gutsy or Xp. I tried booting in Recovery mode but the end result is the same.
Thanks for responding guys. i decided to take the easy way out --- I deleted the partitions and did a clean install of 8.04. Once again.thanks for responding.
