Some questions about UIDs, GIDs, urpmi and auto-update after installation of OMa 4.3

On the second drive I installed a dummy user called “dummy” with UID:GID 1001:1006. I removed the phantom user groups between GID 1000 through 1005. Then I added the user it is all about with GID:UID 1000:1000 with th already existing home directory. It all worked, except that now I get this error:

Have you fixed “dummy” dir permission with the command

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /path/of/dummy

?

I seriously doubt to recommend to install OMa on his computer. He too has an old home directory.

If the problem is different distro use different UID or GID for user and you don’t need to use them with a dual boot machine all you need is to fix the perms of old home directory (and maybe some other few stuff as /var/spool/mail/dummy or something in /var/tmp, etc…) using the new UID/GID pairs in a similar way as following:

sudo chown 1000:1006 -R /your/home/full/path
