When I start LL, there appears a message mentioning lightdm-session and a folder or file named "profile" in the name.Should I keep working on repairing my settings, or should I start over from a default user folder copied from VirtualBox?
* How big was your original home folder?
* in your fstab I read this: "change from "/home2" to "/home""- So you used this fstab entry to mount home2, didn't you?
- Did you use /home2 (as mentioned in fstab) or actually /mnt/home2?
- Is this the fstab change you're referring to you have made via Puppy?
* Have you done anything more to your LL installation since you deleted your home folder than booting LL and trying to log in?Specifically, did you write any data to it?
rsync -avhW --no-compress --progress /home /mnt/home2
Could you please post the output ofCode: [Select]sudo parted --listdf -hTcat /etc/fstabmount | grep ^/dev
sudo parted --listdf -hTcat /etc/fstabmount | grep ^/dev

Am I correct assuming you are not having a backup? And that you didn't check for the transferred files before you deleted the original? Or did you see them at some stage?Forgot to ask:Was your home on a separate partition?Is that the one you're referring to by editing fstab?How exactly did you delete it?

The question is how and where was the separate HDD (portable?) installed/mounted?
/mnt/home2/
Can you remember the actual command line you used (check history)?
Have there been any error messages while you run rsync?
Can you still see the ext3 partition? If yes, are there any files on there?
How did you search for the copy of your home folder?
rsync -avhW --no-compress --progress /src/ /dst/
