I finished installing Gentoo Linux 2005.1 after a long 16 hour |
| 2 |
struggle on my system ( Pentium III, 256MB ram, 2 x 20GB ATA hard |
| 3 |
disks, CDRW drive, optical scroll mouse ). |
| 4 |
The first package ( and its dependencies) that I installed from the |
| 5 |
Packages CD was gdm. |
| 6 |
emerge -k gdm |
| 7 |
It installed fine and allowed both root and non-root users to log in. |
| 8 |
But gnome and openoffice were not installed yet. |
| 9 |
So I emerged x11followed by openoffice-bin. |
| 10 |
After that finished, I found that I could not log in as a non root |
| 11 |
user from gdm. |
| 12 |
I then tried logging in as a non root user at the command line console. |
| 13 |
My username is "anirban". |
| 14 |
Again, I could not log in and it said that my home directory was not found. |
| 15 |
/home/anirban - directory not found |
| 16 |
I then logged in as root and tried |
| 17 |
su anirban |
| 18 |
Again it gave the same message : home directory not found. |
| 19 |
But I checked and found the directory /home/anirban existed and its |
| 20 |
permissions were rwxr-xr-x and its owership was anirban. |

PLEASE HELP !! |
