True, I've got that problem too (not sure why is that happening, tough). Here's the thing to do: Code: sudo gainroot su user dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home Alternatively, login remotely via ssh directly to root and skip first line from above. Sorry, should told that in first place.
sudo gainroot su user dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-home dsmetool -t /usr/bin/hildon-home
