Can't make change to home folder after changing distro
by vatin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56TV1)
Hi,
I installed Pop OS over Linux Mint by preserving the home partition. Then, I proceed to create the same user name as the one I have in Linux Mint. This works as expected. I was able to see my files and folders on the desktop and so on. But the problem is I couldn't make change to them. I couldn't delete files and folders, I couldn't change the settings...etc. It seems I was being prevented from making change to my home folder. Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Vatin
