openSUSE Forums: 12.1 upgrade and permission issues

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

12.1 upgrade and permission issues Aug 21st 2012, 20:50 Upgraded from 11.3 to 12.1, KDE desktop. I have 3 partitions: suse, swap, & home. I formatted the suse partition but NOT the home partition. This resulted in ownership problems and I have overcome most of them with chown. I still have a number of folders that show the owner as uid 1003 (my current uid is 1000 and there is no longer a user with an id of 1003. If I use chown -R from /home will that cause any problems? Currently I've only created myself as a user. I am having trouble getting kmail to talk to my pop3 server (on an os/2 machine). Is there a connection or transaction log somewhere, I don't find anything in /var/log. Or can I somehow get kmail to log attempts to connect? It wouldn't suprise me if this is a permissions issue but the files living at ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail and kmail2 seem to have the correct permissions. Thanks, Jon
