Description of problem: i have installed xguest-1.0.10-8.mga2. i can login with xguest and all seems working fine. but if i close the session and i try to login with a normal user i receive this error message: cannot enter home directory. using /. the only way to login is reboot mageia. it seems that xguest doesn't close properly his session. Steps to Reproduce: 1. login with xguest 2. logout 3. login with normal user
what desktop ? what does said ls -l /home ? have you more info in the syslog ? (control alt f12 or tailf /var/log/syslog)

I can reproduce this with xfce and lightdm.

@Luca and was is your "normal user" ? (I don't see anything in home so hope you don't use root) @Jani not really sure it's the same issue
not root!! you cannot login as root in kdm. my normal user :) but it seems that xguest tmpfs remain ....
but you have no other folder in /home and it search for that
that is the situation after i logout xguest drwxrwxrwt is strange xguest owner is strange this is nolmally $ ls -al /home totale 32 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 ago 15 14:22 ./ drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 ago 11 14:24 ../ drwxr-xr-x 34 ilprof ilprof 4096 ago 19 09:12 ilprof/ drwx------ 2 root root 16384 ago 11 09:49 lost+found/ drwxr-xr-x 4 xguest xguest 4096 ago 15 14:22 xguest/
I'm wondering whether this is related to bug 5980 (which is still valid)

when i login like xguest all is working fine. than i logout and try to login like normal user i can not.
well, I think there could be a relation with bug 5980, because there, when you log back in with a normal user and open a terminal, you don't see a normal prompt line, but bash-4.2$ And I've seen a drwxrwxrwt permission there, too, after logging in as normal user.
i'm not able to login kdm with normal user! i switched to a virtual console with ctrl+alt+f3 and it seems that the xguest tmpfs is still mounted. with xguest-1.0.10-8.mga2 i have no problem in mageia2 but only in cauldron maybe it depend from /usrmove?
damien, maybe you have any ideas ?

(In reply to comment #11) > i'm not able to login kdm with normal user! When, after logging out as xguest I change to tty 2 and try to login as marja, I see a message: marja: /home/marja: change directory failed: No such file or directory In bug 5980, everyone saw, when opening a konsole, he/she was in / instead of in /home/<username> , and <username> was missing before the prompt I think because different DM's and DE's respond different to the bug, you perceive different problems than those reported in 5980. And yes, recent changes in cauldron can have caused your DM to be more sensitive to this bug. Did you install xguest after installing cauldron or at the time of install (e.g. with boot.iso? How was that with Mageia 2?
in a virtual machine(vbox) i had installed mageia2, updated to cauldron with convetfs and than installed xguest
maybe this can help: -logout xguest -service dm stop -lsof| grep tmp and find xguest process using /tmp -kill them(are gpg-agent process) -umount /tmp -umount /var/tmp -cd /home -umount xguest -cd .. -umount /home now i can login with normal user
with alpha1 seems resolved
