This suggests that the /home filesystem wasn't mounted. AFAIK, an extended partition is supposed to be the last one, but you showed another partition after it, so maybe sda5/6 can't be mounted. This bug is likely INVALID. Status:
NEW =>
RESOLVED The extended partition does not have to be the last primary partition. It just has to be contiguous. I've used a similar setup where I had an existing windows installation on sda13, needed to move things around, but did not want to renumber the existing partitions. I agree that it appears that /home was not mounted during the install, but not that it's due to having a primary partition after the extended partition. Alain, can you boot into CAElinux, or the Mageia installer, mount sdb1, and see if the user directories are present in /home? Status:
RESOLVED =>
REOPENED YES !!!
In sdb1 there are the following subdirectories
/home
/user
/bureau (desktop in french)
/documents
/images
/modèles
/musique
/téléchargements (downloads un french)
/tmp
/vidéo
The installer created the /user directorie (all in french) in the wrong partition and that's why it didn't work.
In sdb5 there are the subdirectories
/user
/desktop
/dowmloads
/tmp
It's the second /home/user directorie that I created later.
And it's the active /home on my mageia.
It seems that you've found the bug.
The only thing I can think of, that would cause this, would be to forget to specify the mount point for /home, during the partitioning stage, so it doesn't get mounted during the install. That would also require manually adding the mountpoint/fstab entry later. Does that sound familiar?

Description of problem: I already had 6 completely "plug and play" install with Mageia 2. On this 7th computer too but because Mageia 2 didn't provide the right driver for full 3D acceleration, I had to manually download and install the latest ATI driver. After this manual install I never could accept to update X11/X.Org (--> black screen and go back with clone zilla). So I didn't was surprised that the upgrade to Mageia 3 failed too. That's why I made a fresh install of Mageai 3 formating 2 partitions "/" and "/home" to make sure. Good improvement : with Mageia 3 there is the right non-free driver for my AMD APU A6-3650 (CPU and GPU fusionned) But 1st little bug after restart : "Cannot enter home directory. Using /. Call to Inusertemp failed (temporary directory full ?), check for installation. So I tried to reinstall. 2nd little bug after reinstall : The Grub 1 loosed the line linux-failsafe It only remains 2 choices "Mageai3" and the "CAElinux" I use for engeneering applications. I solved the 1st bug with the terminal : cd /home md /user-name chown -R user-name user-name cd.. chmod -R 777 /tmp And for the 2nd bug : I rebuild the /boot/grub/menu/lst So no problem any more, works great, incredibly stable with KDE, but it was not a fully "plug and play" installation like I always had until today.
