I recommend that you manually change the user and group IDs (UID & GID) prior to upgrading the system. On the old system: usermod -g 1000 username usermod -u 1000 username Then run: chown -R username:username directory chgrp -R username:username directory for all of your directories. Reboot and make sure everything is ok. I had to redo one or two of the commands, for some reason, after rebooting. Maybe I didn't chown/chgrp -R everything correctly. This worked perfectly for me when I migrated from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16. I hope this is what you needed. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
