3.6 Beta Fresh Install
Wrong permission on /etc/skel (all sub-directories and files)... Fix:
Code:
sudo chown -R root:root /etc/skel
It should be owned by root:root instead of $USER:$USER.
Issue:
The /etc/skel folder hosts the default profile config for all new accounts. Something as simple as reseting the Whisker Menu BEFORE setting the proper permissions on that folder will break the customized and heavily modified Whisker Menu in Linux Lite for the active user and all subsequent accounts created in that installation because default $USER:$USER permissions allows the system to edit the default profile settings under /etc/skel. Not even Whisker Menu Restore will be able to help at that point because it uses /etc/skel (as it should) as base to restore user's menus to Linux Lite customized defaults.
Cheers!
