tried changing the aufs to
/dev/sda3 / defaults 1 2
no luck
How many paritions did you make when you did your HD install? Is the /home directory on a seperate partition? Are you sure /dev/sda3 is the correct partition? Usually on an HD install, the partitions are /dev/hdaX unless you are using SCSI drives.
Any specific error messages you getting when you attempt to login?
I know I'm using the correct partitions. sda is for SATA drives.Originally Posted by cybrsnpr
My only issue is that the /tmp directory permissions get changed on mount and unmount. I think this could be a tmpfs issue?
cybrsnpr, thanks for all your help.
Well, sorry I couldn't fix your problem. Maybe one of the other forum members has an answer.
Why did you create a new user?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
After you give the answer from Barry's post,
can/ did you delete the user and all associated directories and then make a new one? If not try it and post results.
Also maybe post your fstab and lilo.conf files per pastebin.

because I don't want to use root. also, Vlc won't start with root.
I use grub:
title BackTrack 3 Final KDE
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=0x317 root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet splash autoexec=xconf;kdm
boot
fstab
#aufs / aufs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 1 2
