Hooaaraaaayyy!!!!!

It works casper!

What can I say? Once more you've been very helpful!!!!!

Thank you very much!!!

P.S: Do I have to do that every time I boot up or it is permanent? Also at the SELINUX which option do I choose enforcing, permissive or disabled?

devils casper

Boot up Fedora and Log in as root. Open /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Add parameters at the end of kernel line. Save file and reboot. You wont have to write those again.
Select Permissive but I have disabled it in my machine.

Glad to help you.

Hey capser, I changed the grub.conf file and fedora boots up nicely no problems.
However, when I try to log in with my user account it gives me the following error:

Your home directory is listed as: "/home/goude" but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the /(root) directory as your home directory?

It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session.

Can you please tell me what to do, next? I can log in as root but not as a normal user.

Thank you Casper!!!!

Log in as root and check if /home/goude folder exists.
In case it doesn't list goude folder create new.
Try to login as user 'goude'.
In case nothing works, create new regular user with adduser command.

I run the commands you wrote and I can log in now but this created a new account.

I already have an account which is on the network. I can log in to any other machine with my existing account but not on the computer I have just installed fedora.

How can I make my existing account work on a newly installed fedora machine?
Is it possible to delete the account I just created with the commands in the previous post?


Thank you casper!!!

Hey Casper,

Problem solved.
I just had to mount the server (mount -a) where my account was created to my machine and add it to my fstab file.
It works fine now!

Thank you!!!

Dear Casper,

I have a problem again!
Whenever I log in with my user account, the following message pops out:

User's HOME/. dmrc. file is being ignored. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's home directory must be owned by user and not be writable by other users.

I click ok and x starts without problems.
I changed the permissions of my home directory then rebooted but the error didn't go away.
First, I typed: chown 644 home, rebooted the machine but no luck.
Then I typed: chmod 644 home, rebooted the machine but error still there.

I don't understand.
It just tells me to change the permissions of my home directory. Although I did that, it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Any kind of advice would be highly appreciatted!!

Thank you casper!!!

it said that you dont have access to the dmrc file
So you should do
chmod 644 ~/.dmrc

and chown changes the owner.
So chown 644 home makes the owner of the folder home into the user 644

To fix this all do the following..

Hey Robin, thanks for your reply,

I run the commands you told me but didn't make any difference.
The first two:
chown root /home
chown goude /home/goude/.dmrc
didn't give any error but the last one:
chmod 644 /home/.dmrc
gave me the error: chmod: cannot access `/home/.dmrc': No such file or directory

That's weird because it can change the ownership of the file dmrc but it can't change the mode of that file. At least this is how I understand it.
