No write access ICE authority
Hey guys,
I did a install with mandrake 10.0 without reformating the hard drive discs and I get an error message on reboot of installation that says no write access to/home/stan/ICEauthority KDE unable to start Is there anyway around this or must I reinstall and reformat? I was trying to add some additions from CD's 4 and 5 and that is why I did not re-reformat. d-1 |
Hi dolphans1,
I experienced this error once and this is what you should do. Type "su" at terminal console and type in your root password. You will enter your /home/stan directory as root with prompt # Type in "ls -a" , and you'll see a file named .ICEauthority. Change the access mode of this file by type in "chmod 777 .ICEauthority". Re-boot and you will enter in to KDE desktop. Hope this help. |
Use mc (midnight commander)
I received this error message in my Backtrack and so I ran
#mc and then hit F8 to delete /root/.ICEAuthority #startx |
K this post dates way back but i'll try here anyways. I get a similiar message "/root/.ICEauthority KDE is unable to start". After looking into what d4d4n9 posted i found that everything from permissions to the modified date are in question marks for both my .ICEauthority and .Xauthority files. Any help would be great, thanks.

Use mc (midnight commander)
I used mc (midnight commander) to delete the file previously mentioned in this thread by various people. I was unable to delete it from a shell, though.
Once I deleted that, it worked alright |
Yeah i know what you mean, i'd get the message: "rm: cannot remove '/root/.ICEauthority': Input/output error".
But I found that the command rm -f .ICEauthority worked perfectly. |
