Greetings folks,
I bit the bullet tonight and upgraded over the net from jaunty to karmic.
In the process I found that I did not have enough space in var, so I had to move things around a bit, mount a larger partition as var, copy var stuff... and yadda yadda... the install was successful. BUT, somehow, in moving everything back I honked up the permissions for gdm. So, I get that message about not being able to update /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority and then the message about the config server having an error (256) ...blah.
I got around the problem with sudo chown -R gdm /var/lib/gdm
(and) sudo chgrp -R gdm /var/lib/gdm
BUT, what I'd really like is for someone who is running karmic to post the permissions for everything in /var/lib/gdm please.
thanks much. (yes, I feel silly... I almost never do stuff like this)
