Bug#325701: gnome-session: unable to launch gnome due to bad group/owner on .ICEauthority

2005-11-29 Thread Ashley Jennings
Hi Olivier,

Some information about this bug.  I have fixed this same issue on a
Sarge install in the last couple of days and tracked it down to when I
ran

% sudo kwifimanager

it created this .ICEauthority in my user home dir which cause Gnome boot to fail

  -rw---  1 root root 362 2005-11-30 15:37 .ICEauthority


all the best

Ashley


PS  this is my first time using the BTS and I am learning as I go.  I
shall report this bug to kwifimanager too.



Bug#341360: sudo kwifimanager creates a root owned .ICEauthority which stops Gnome from logging in

2005-11-30 Thread Ashley Jennings
Package: kwifimanager
Version: 4:3.3.2-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi DDs,  I've found a bug where the command
sudo kwifimanager leaves a root owned .ICEauthority in the calling
user's home dir. This was stopping Gnome from logging in until
the .ICEauthority is deleted.

A similar bug about Gnome being unable to login is in bug #325701
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325701

I have been able to reproduce this behaviour on more than one Sarge
install.

bye

Ashley
