I'm guessing there is a permission problem. What do you see when you use the following command in a terminal?
Mine shows the following:
Code:
hamish@greasedscotsman:~$ ls -al ~/
drwxr-xr-x 33 hamish hamish 4096 2008-05-07 21:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-05 16:03 ..
-rw------- 1 hamish hamish 636 2008-05-07 21:01 .ICEauthority
-rw------- 1 hamish hamish 117 2008-05-07 21:01 .Xauthority
If you notice those two files with something other than "-rw-------" or owned by someone else then try to change the permission and owner:
Code:
chmod 600 ~/.ICEauthority
chown $USER:$USER ~/.ICEauthority
You may also need to check the owner and permission of the .ICE-unix directory:
I get the following:
Code:
frink@mrpoopypants:~$ ls -al /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 2008-05-07 21:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 2008-05-05 15:38 ..
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 2008-05-07 21:01 .ICE-unix
If it is different for you try to fix the owner and permissions:
Code:
sudo chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
