Couldn't update ICEauthority file

Asked by hepinggedy

Every time I start my computer, after I have entered my user name and password, a warning information would jump out just as follows:

Could not update ICEauthority file: /home/dyg/.ICEauthority

Looking forward to anyone could help! Best wishes!

boot to root recovery console (Hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then use the cursors to select root (scroll beyond the options))

You can now run:

cd /home; chown -R dyg:dyg ./dyg

then reboot. Should be fine (the R MUST be capitalised, Linux is VERY case sensitive).

Hi, actionparsnip,

I am very sorry that it didnot help. After I reboot, the same problem came up. I just don't know why. But the problem does not affect my work with my computer.

Thank you very much all the same, indeed!

Hopefully, my problem could be solved by your kind buddies!

I think I have made a mistake. The solution that actionparsnip gave worked this time. Perhaps the first time I typed
     cd /home; chown -R dyg:dyg /dyg
instead of
     cd /home; chown -R dyg:dyg ./dyg.
The former did not work, but the later worked.

I am sorry for that mistake.And thank you, actionparsnip!

Yes, please type commands right. You can break your system with bad commands. Is this now solved.
