This is what I get -

I tried removing ~/tmp (tmp in the home folder) and made it again, leaving the permissions as is. I didn't use sudo.
Same error on login...
Can't see any permission errors.

ls -l gives me this result for tmp

drwxrwxrwx

The only 'tinkering' I had done was deleting ~/tmp to free up disk space. Other than that, I have no idea why I cannot login to Ubuntu/Gnome anymore. The error I get is -

Oh wait a minute - should ethX be the interface that gets x86 the internet, or the one I'm sharing with?

Hi anaoum
Yea... :( tried all that. x86 still can't get to the internet unless I deactivate eth0 even tho ath0 is the default gateway device.

So the full story is:
x86
ath0:

I'm having some fun with this -

If you want to keep your configuration (desktop set up), passwords, bookmarks, emails etc, I would just backup you Home directory (inc all the hidden files). Correct me if I'm wrong, but that should...

For what it's worth, my $30 Vivitar 3350 works perfectly in KDE - just as a previous post said, I plugged it in, it appeared on the desktop and the pics appeared in a new window. Perfect!
