"Could not update ICEauthority file" after login (independent of gnome)

rated 0 times [ 12] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 60271 / 2 Years ago, thu, august 25, 2022, 2:08:45

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 64bits in my new computer, and I got this two messages after login:

error 1

and

error 2

I've tried to login with classic gnome, and safe mode, but got the same messages.

Any easy/fast solution to this? (if not I can use Ubuntu 10.10 for while)

My computer is an HP Pavilion, intel i3, 4GM ram.

It's a simple permissions issue.
One of two things will work:

First, try the following:

sudo chown username:username .ICEauthority

sudo chmod 0644 .ICEauthority

Change username to your own username (so in your situation it would be wellington).

If that didn't work, you'll need to (unfortunately) start with a new /home directory - however, BACK UP YOUR DATA before you do that. For more on backup solutions, see
