I couldn't log in to my "admin" account and Alt+Ctrl+F1 showed all my files were owned by my "standard" user. Odd.
So I carefully changed to /home/admin
and did a
sudo chown -R admin:admin *
(and .*
too).
Great.
Then I couldn't log in as my "standard" user and it turns out that all the files in /home/standard
were now owned by "admin".
Pretty humorous. Why is this happening?
sudo chown -R standard:standard /home/standard/*
did the same thing, changed /home/admin
as well as /home/standard
.
I'm more confused than usual because I tried to upgrade to 15.04 and that pretty much wrecked my computer so I'm putting things back with 14.04, please be patient with me.
ls -l /home
say?
