.ICEauthority permissions problem
Hi all,
Everytime I attempt to login to gnome, the screen goes black for a a few seconds then I am returned to the login manager. I tried switching from KDM to GDM and the problem still exists. I attempted to login to KDE and I got an error saying that the .ICEauthority file was at fault. So I logged on as root and deleted the .ICEauthority and other .ICE* files from my home folder and tried to login again and I logged in no problem. But later on I logged out and the problem returned. So I did a little investigating and found that the .ICEauthority and other .ICE* files in my home directory were owned by root so they couldnt be accessed by the user. So I changed the permissions this time and I logged in successfully. Then the next time I logged out the problem was back again and the owner was changed back to root. I am running OpenSuse 10.1. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced,
Paul
