.ICEauthority error

[Raptor Jesus]

I recently upgraded to kubuntu 9.04, now I get "unable to write /home/usrname/.ICEauthority" or something like that.

I fix it by doing
sudo chown username .ICEauthority

Is there any way to fix this permanently, so that I don't have to do that in console every time I try to log into my computer?

Thanks in advance.

What's the output of this command from a terminal?


ls -la ~

[Raptor Jesus]

here it is:


-rw------- 1 robert robert 1405 2009-04-12 08:52 .ICEauthority

Do i need to put x? if so how? :)

[taurus]

You do not need to make it as an executable file. How are the permissions settings on your $HOME?


ls -la /home
Or post the output of the command in my previous post.

And you have to change the owner of ~/.ICEauthority each time you log in?

[Raptor Jesus]

Yes, each time i log in i have to run:

sudo chown robert .ICEauthority

[taurus]

sudo fdisk -l
sudo blkid
cat /etc/fstab
df -h

[Raptor Jesus]

ok, i did that command. I guess it went through? I reboot now?
