beesea Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 sometimes, for seemingly no reason, when i try to start kde it complains about me not having ownership of ~/.ICEauthority and refuses to start. if i do a 'ls -l' on it, it shows that root has ownership. so i manually change ownership back to my user account and proceed as normal. why does this happen and what can i do to fix this? if it helps, gnome doesn't start either but fluxbox and windowmaker seem unaffected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mandrake_Mouse Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Not for nothing.. but check the ownership on your home directory. I remember reading about a problem like this before, and it seems the ownership of the normal user directory had somehow gotten set to "root". Make sure YOU own your /home/(your_account)/ directory, and see if that fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
