I’d like to avoid doing that as it could remove 6.8.9 as a boot option

I’ll update if it’s guaranteed to solve my issue.

I haven’t changed anything hardware wise and I haven’t changed anything involving partitions in months.

In kernel 6.8.9 my swap mounts perfectly I don’t have any idea what I should change in order to fix 6.8.10.

IT FUCKING WORKED

THANK YOU

I didn’t realize I had it either, I’ll see what I can do to fix it tomorrow because right now, I’m tired and hungry.

BTW, thank you for your help. Your comments and explanations have been a great in helping me understand my issue and Linux in general.

I went into /audit.log you asked, I’m gonna be honest as a total linux newbie I have no idea what im looking at . I don’t really know what’s supposed to be an error and what’s irrelevent. This is the only thing that stick out to me

type=SERVICE_START msg=audit(1708923571.909:69): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=systemd-userdbd comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success'^]UID="root" AUID="unset"

ok here’s the output

What chown command should I try. I’ve already tried

sudo chown -R adelie:adelie /home

Honestly I feel like I’ve done everything at this point. Do you think I should reinstall fedora and partition root as ext4 instead of btrfs?

So I did that and nothing different happened. I’m sorry to keep taking your time like this do you know of any place, like a Discord server or something, that I can talk with somebody about this in real time.

I’m probably going to give this issue one more day to resolve before I give up and switch to Windows 11.

I’ll do that but just to be clear this is my partition table

Heres what I got

root@localhost-live:/# ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Feb 27 11:06 /home

root@localhost-live:/# ls -ld /home/adelie
drwx------. 15 adelie adelie 4096 Feb 27 18:00 /home/adelie

It’s all ok then.

So I ran all three commands including the one /u/Max_P gave. I then changed the fstab and rebooted. I still couldn’t login after that.

I then tried to login with TTY. it gave me the same error as in the post. I ran the three commands again and rebooted. still nothing

I logged in with my root account and ran the three commands again, rebooted and still couldn’t login. I then fixed the fstab and now I’m back here again.

just to be clear i ran chmod 700 not 755.

Anything I should run in order to check my system? I must’ve done something wrong. Maybe it has to do with btrfs?

I’d like to know what this command will do before I run it.

If you wouldn’t mind, could you please explain what these command will do.

Also I’m back in the fixed state should I change my fstab back to the broken state before I run this?

yes /home is 23, and /new_home is 24, what does this mean?

I didn’t know users had id numbers, any way to check my current one. I’ve changed fstab to what is was originally since then. I’ve made an edit to clarify this.

I’ve entered into my root account to check the mount points and yes I can confrim everything mounted properly. I simply can’t login, as far as I can tell. I’ve made an edit on the post to clarify this.

I’ve done this several times and yes I can confirm everything mounted properly. The only issue as far as I can tell is that I can’t login. I made an edit on the post to clarify this.

Old drive with current home directory = Drive A

New drive I wish to use a home directory = Drive B, I gave it an extra file named confirm.txt

I did have a root user account, I just didn’t know how to boot into it

The first time around I forgot to copy my old home folder into my new home folder, but now I know that wasn’t the issue.

After a bit of fiddling I decided to reinstall fedora.

I tried to separate my / and /home from the fedora installer; for some reason fedora wouldn’t let me. Any time I tried to set my /home on my 1TB drive fedora would place my / into said drive. Just to clarify I want my / and everything in it to stay in my 500GB nvme and my /home to be in my 1TB ssd.

I just cut my loses and let fedora do it’s usual install in Drive A. Drive B was left untouched.

For the new install I decided to do some thing different

In / I made two new partitions /new_home and /old_home

I went into fstab and made both drives mount; Drive A mounted into /home and Drive B into /new_home

I rebooted; Logged in as normal and Drive B successfully mounted

From here I reversed it, Drive A into /old_home and Drive B into /home

I rebooted; I entered into the KDE Login screen as usual. I typed my password correctly but after a short animation I was placed back into the login screen.

I logged in as root and checked if everything mounted correctly. It did. From / my /home would place me into Drive B the one with confirm.txt. And Drive A was in /old_home

So now I’m confused. Everything mounted properly but I still can’t login with my account. I’m assuming this might be a KDE problem but I’d like your opinion.
