Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted. Sadly, I forgot to make myself the owner of those files before rebooting. Instead of the login screen where you would normally enter your password, It showed me a welcome screen where I had to create a new user. I did that, then fixed my earlier mistake, logged in as my real user and ran userdel to get rid of the account I had to create. However, now it always shows me this welcome screen and I always have to create a new user. If I go through that and log out, I can log in with my real user after clicking on “not listed?” on the login screen. I could just reinstall again, but is there a way to fix this?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
