Hi Bob,
Hi Paul,
Hi Martin,
Hi Dennis,
I had to take a deep breath, guys!
i did the chown well: $ sudo chown -R max:max /home/max
no error on that.
but the final result was:
the login went well. the start of Gnome went slowly, halted at
Windowsmanager Metacity for a while, halted at Panel for a while
and finaly when that disappeared and Gnome should have come up there was
for at least 4 minutes nothing than an empty screen.
so i went back, and was happy the CHOWN did its work again for the old
user.
what now??
René
