your $HOME/.dmrc file has incorrect permissions problem

[djoefish]

I have had this problem for a while...and finally tried to fix it. I was getting the message even though my .dmrc was set to 644 permission.

I changed the home folder permission to 700 (owner=rwx, and all others blank) and...

IT WORKED!!!

Now I can log on in peace. I hope this works for you!

Hey djoefish is there any way you can do that from the terminal in recovcery mode because i cant sign in default

[djoefish]

I'm not sure about the commands (I'm kinda new), but I think it would be something like:

chmod 700 <home folder>

I'm sure that someone else can correct me if this is wrong

Ok folks, some more on .dmrc issues:

-At first "boot", and reboot, OK without .dmrc warning, at least.
-I Denied any UpGrade, suspecting one of them may contain a Bug:

This is NOT the issue

-Two only other things I did, in the first 24 hours of use on this empty computer, causing the .dmrc issue to arise again as soon as I rebooted:

1) Installed various MPEG libs, required to play DVD & MP3 files.
2) Networked (using SMB) the /home dir to put my personnal data back on the new computer. It does means I changed permissions, as allowing "Write" in the networking details of SMB is actually not enough for writing files on the Laptop's HDD.

WORKED realy fine.

After a new log on, i set permission of the home folder back to 755 and everything is fine.
