Hi,
I did a chown -R MyUser /Users/MyUser last night after reading some guide on it on the net.
The command seemed to run smoothly, but I got a few "operation not committed" or allowed or something on that on some files so I chmod them 644.
The consequences was disaster...! Suddenly letters starting disapearing from the screen and menus. I couldn´t type properly and when booting now, the system can´t load the login screen.
I am able to boot the DVD and startup terminal via that, but when I try to chown it with the old user it won´t work properly. All I get is:
"chown: MyUser: Invalid argument"
I´ve done a cat /etc/passwd, but I can`t find my regular users this way. Apparantly since I am booting from the DVD.
Safe mode with CMD + S doesn´t work. I presume it needs the login screen also...?
Best regards,
