I have recently created a separate home partition following this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving. Since I’m still a newbie in the Linux (struggling to learn) I felt happy when every thing seemed to work smooth. How ever, I realised after a while that I had lost all permission to my subfolders in the my home folder. I still can read/write the files placed directly in /home/magnus but I'm denied access to any of the subfolders.

I just realised one more disturbing thing, probably related to home-partition story above:

When I try

cd ~/Music/

I get the message

bash: cd: /home/magnus/Music/: Permission denied

When I try:

sudo cd ~/Music/

I get the result

sudo: cd: command not found

Seems strange that the cd command have been lost?

What have I done wrong and is there a way to fix this?

btw: I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Thanks for all the help! Magnus
