Hi,
I have had a fully functional Mandrake Linux 9.2 system for a number of months now, using GDM to provide a graphical login screen. However, today I rebooted my system after it being up for about 7 days and when I tried to log on as my usual user using GDM I received:
"GDM could not write to your authorisation file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your systems administrator."
So I logged in as root via GDM and it worked fine. I have plenty of free disk space and root can access the aforementioned user's home directory without a problem. Could this be something to do with permissions on the aforementioned user's home directory? What should they be for GDM to be able to write to it? What is this authorisation file GDM speaks of?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
,
Richard Hayden.
