Thread: I deleted my .ICEauthority and it won't come back.
in attempt fix "could not update iceauthority file /home/kevin/.iceauthority" error, sudo rm iceauthority because said created when login again. well, i've restarted , logged in .iceauthority hasn't been recreated , i'm still getting "could not update iceauthority" error. ideas? i'm running ubuntu version 11.04 , gnome version 2.32.1.
it not enough delete .iceauthority file. need create new blank file, , set correct permissions. exampleyou don't need use sudo if in recovery console or if logged in kevin on virtual terminal (eg ctrl+alt+f1..f3).code:cd /home/kevin sudo touch .iceauthority # creates blank file name .iceauthority sudo chown kevin:kevin .iceauthority # makes "kevin" owner of file sudo chmod 600 .iceauthority # sets permissions "-rw-------" (read/write access owner only)
please post results.
