Package: gdm
Version: 2.13.0.10-2
Severity: normal
After upgrade, normal user logins caused GDM to restart after this error:
gdm_auth_user_add: Could not open cookie file /home/stu/.Xauthority
GDM can create the .Xauthority file, but fails to write anything to it. It then
is unable to delete the file.
setting UserAuthDir=/tmp allows the users to login. I don't seem to have this
problem on other systems that share an nfs /home mount, but this device is a
laptop, so it stands alone.
Please let me know what further info I can provide.
