Recently I accidentaly piped the following command
ls|chmod a+rwx $HOME
DONT EVER DO THAT!
anyway next time i signed in it said that .dmrc should have 644 permissions and that the $HOME folder should belong to the user.
after i made the corrections it said to in a fail safe terminal it said it could not log into Gnome because the $HOME/.ICEauthority file should be writable by all users and its directory should be aswell...
so i did that then it said that $HOME should belong to the user...thats right...it said it again.
so i did this which allows me to log in but gives an annoying error message each time
sudo chmod 644 .dmrc
so what do i do?
its either an annoying error message
or nothing at all
Please help
Thanks
