Got everything installed but now I get this error every time I start my computer:

User's $Home/.drmc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $Home directory must be owned by user and not writable by others."

What exactly do I do to cure this problem?

thanks , , ,

Press Alt-F2, and type 'gksudo nautilus'. Navigate to your home directory, show hidden files if necessary, right click on the .dmrc file, Properties, Permissions, and change the owner to yourself.

snova - Thanks for the reply, I followed your instructions exactly and here are the permissions:

Owner - Joe
Access - Read and Write
Group - nogroup
Access - None
Others - None
Access - None

I don't see anything wrong but I still get the error. What should the Group setting be, Admin or Nogroup? What else can I try?

From what I know, the group is usually the same as your user (such as, snova:snova).

Well, try it from the command line anyway:


sudo chown <user>:<user> ~/.dmrc
chmod 644 ~/.dmrc
