BUG: mx-installer 18.4.04 wrong group-ownership of user-account

Current mx-installer (deb-package 18.4.04mx17)
creates users home-directory and subfolders and files of a freshly created user with wrong group-ownership
of a group “users” whith groupid 100 instead of users primary groupid 1000.

Additionally created user within the installed system get correct group-ownership of new account as primary groupid of the user correctly.

Can't replicate. What ISO do you use? MX-17.1, a monthly snapshot?

1. Installer doesn't even assign the groupid, it doesn't even create the user, it uses the current "demo" account from Live environment and renames it to whatever user name you choose at install time.
2. check /etc/passwd and see what's the group ownership for "demo"

I looked both on Live environment and installed MX and the groupid is 1000 for me...

Good point, it was either mx171 or mx171may or a snapshot.
Need to remember how I've done it, as I reinstalled in Vbox so often in last days for testing:
No system change always fresh dist-upgrade before installing.
I've actualy discoverd during it mx-snapshot testing.

Here you see folder list of a fresh install for user fehlix in virtualbox,
which clearly shows wrong gid.
So you might understand, that I thought it would be easy to reproduce:

Code: Select all

fehlix@mx17test:~
$ ls -nl

OK, so it's the folders that have the wrong gid, what the gid of the main user?

Sure, the id is correct, and also newly created folders and files,
only the existing ones after fresh login and all hidden folder/files did hade the wron gid.

Code: Select all

fehlix@mx17test:~
$ id
uid=1000(fehlix) gid=1000(fehlix) Gruppen=1000(fehlix),7(lp),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),108(netdev),114(vboxsf),116(lpadmin),119(scanner)

Not sure what's going on, just did an installation using the latest version of the installer (same as yours)

What's the base that you start from, did you use a snapshot, do you use persistency?
How did you install, what file system (I see different size for the folders than mine), I simply tried an "auto-install" in VBox.

Also, please confirm that the environment that you are installing from has the right gui for /home/demo subfolders so we know where the problem is the installer or something else.

I don't think it is due to the installer, but I can see on my laptop some weird permissions.

The ones created by xdg (Documents, Music, Pictures etc) are all 100

[Adrian]

When are all those folders created by xdg, at Live USB boot time? I see them in Live environment with gid = 1000 (maybe it has something to do with booting into different language, but I see you use English).
