Re: [LUG] error log from problem with kde - solution

 

It's fixed, by running chown root.root -R /tmp/.ICE-unix

this sets the ownership / permissions correctly,

I have pasted the out put from less .xsession-errors, obtained by re
creating the error, then switiching to a console and typing the above,

Not sure whats going on with kde, It seems to be a permission issue
somewhere.


Delete the /tmp/.ICE-unix directory. It should then be re-created with the correct permissions the next time X is started. You may however find that this doesn't fix your KDE login problem:

It sounds like your KDE config is corrupted, especially if you can log into KDE as another user. You can probably fix it by removing the .kde directory in your home directory, but that'll nuke all your KDE settings and customisations, so this is a last resort. I'd suggest you try moving it somewhere else, then if it doesn't fix the problem you can move it back and keep your settings.

David.
