LinuxQuestions.org - Timeout in locking authority file ERROR

Hi fellas, i was trying to fix some errors with the permissions of my users in order to access kppp. I corrected my mistakes, and suddenly when i typed kppp a pop up appeared with this message:

Could not read network connection list.
/home/dryclean/.DCOPserver_sucursal1__0
please check that the "dcopserver" is running

and when i try running dcopserver from console i get this output:

Code:

dryclean@sucursal1:~> dcopserver 



/usr/bin/iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/dryclean/.ICEauthority ICE Connection rejected! 



DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed ICE Connection rejected! 



DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed



DCOPServer self-test failed. iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/dryclean/.ICEauthority

Then i typed:

dryclean@sucursal1:~> kppp

and i got the same pop up on screen and the same error message on the terminal, but the thing is that when i closed the pop up, kppp started and worked without problems. My question is, how can i fix the timeout error that appear on my terminal? which file/s should i modify?

thanks in advance, Frame360
