<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> Sometimes my home folder is missing. When I boot up and get to the login screen, I enter my password to login and it does not load the desktop, but goes straight back to the login screen. And just now my home folder literally just disappeared. I can see other user folders in /home but not for my current user, although I am still logged in. I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 XFCE and it is up to date, the last updates were applied this morning, although the problem has persisted for a while now. Although today is the first time I have lost my home partition while logged in. This is a real nuisance. I can see home folders in the same partition for other users (from other distros I have installed on the same PC) but not my own. Any ideas why it keeps getting hidden and how to prevent it getting hidden? David K </body> </html>
