    Re: Could not update ICEauthority file /home/ian/.ICEauthority

    Hi,
    I also had this message when loggin.
    Furthermore the sound mixer was not working...
    (I also installed veetle before).
    I noticed that I was not anymore the owner of my own home folder
    So in a terminal:
    sudo chown -R "me" /home/"me"
    and it worked back well

    Cheers
    Touf

    Got the same error again.

    The command
    sudo chmod 755 /home/user
    fixed the boot up problem (type 755 not 700).

    After that, applying the commands described in the 'how to' here:

    fixed the ICEauthority problem
