You're right, there are some errors in those logs. xsession-errors says: "Failed to create secure directory: Keine Berechtigung" (means no permission) and there are also some permission problems in /var/log/gdm/:0-slave.log (however, this file should be for the user i am currently working with? I

Yeah, the point of the GDM error is that it should be able to create it on login if not present. Have a look at /var/log/gdm/* and at ~/.xesssion-errors and see whether there are more details. ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) => gdm (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification b

ls -la /home/ shows that "drwxr-xr-x " and owner+group are the same as the user. touch ... didn't help. interesting thing: once the new user was logged in with lightdm also the log in with gdm works perfectly. Even if /home/username/.ICEauthority doesn't exist. -- You received this bug notifica

Sorry, I meant the output of ls -la /home/, i.e. to see the permissions set on the home folder. If you do sudo su gdm touch/home/username/.ICEauthority does it work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchp

as already mentioned: ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file (.ICEauthority). I tried: copying the file from another user (that actually works) and changing the owner, group and permissions corresponding to the new user. Even using the new file with

That's most likely a permission problem. What does ls -l /home/username/.ICEauthority say? How did you create the user? Could you try creating another test user too? ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importanc
