    permissions block internet

    I have two users. user1 - administrator and user2 - regular user

    Code:
    user1:
    uid=1000(user1) gid=1000(user1) groups=1000(user1),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),124(sambashare),1001(user2)
    
    user2:
    uid=1001(user2) gid=1001(user2) groups=1001(user2),46(plugdev),1000(user1)
    
    
    drwx------  3 user1 user1 4096 paź 30 20:52 .macromedia
    drwx------  4 user1 user1 4096 paź 30 20:52 .mozilla
    
    drwx------  3 user2 user2 4096 lis  1 16:57 .macromedia
    drwx------  4 user2 user2 4096 lis  1 16:46 .mozilla
    I also used command:
    Code:
    sudo chfn -o "umask=007" user2
    as described here:
    https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...-for-new-files

    User1 can access Internet and use it witout problems.

    For user2 I can start home page (google) of Firefox but when I want to search it stops working. When I start Chromium it says that It can't work and I should check previliges.

    I deleted .mozilla folder of user2 but the problem still exist.

    I can create document files as user2 from Kate and Writer.

    I don't know what blocks proper working of Internet browsers.
    Should user2 belong to another group?

    By the way: user manager doesn't show user2 at all.

    How are you connected to the internet? It is likely not a file permission problem at all.

      I have internet access.
      When I open Chromium it says - Can't open profile. Check if profile exist and if you have permission to access it.
      Can you tell me what previliges do you have for profile files?

      Edit:
      Chromium started from terminal gives info:

      http://pastebin.com/fKk2PNbJ

      I removed .KDE and other configuration folders but problem remains.

      How to reverse/undo this command:
      Code:
      sudo chfn -o "umask=007" user2

        You can remove the umask entry from /etc/passwd with:
        sudo chfn -o "" user2
        but I'm not sure how the default umask could be causing the problem.
