OpenSUSE Install :: ICEauthority Can't Write To Message At Login

Dec 1, 2010

I've been getting an error message at login that .ICEauthority cant be written to. If I look with nautilus permissions it shows owner is root with read and write permissions -rw------- 1 root root 13430 2010-11-21 18:40 .ICEauthority. Should this file be owned by root or the user ?

Fedora Servers :: Login Through Gdm - Could Not Update ICEauthority File /home/brad/.ICEauthority FreeIPA

Aug 13, 2011

I am setting up a freeipa2 server (both fedora 15), and I was able to get the ipa-client-install to work perfectly (as far as I know) by yum excluding libcurl and curl. If I run kinit brad, I can authenticate and that works aswell.

But when I want to login as me through gdm, I get "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/brad/.ICEauthority" granted the home folders do not exist as this would be my first ever login.

I am currently replacing a windows computer lab to fedora, and have got eveything else ready to go.

Mar 11, 2010

Using Yast2 I have been able to change the login screen from the default SUSE theme to the "circles" theme. I would like to change the welcome message from "Welcome to 'hostname'" to something more inviting, say: "A Warm Welcome to OpenSuse Linux".

General :: Before Showing Up Loginscreen Display The Message Box - ICEauthority Not Update ?

Nov 30, 2010

I have OpenSuse 11.3, with KDE4. a few days ago, after an upgrade, are presenting several flaws in the system configuration.

But I think the cause of all is that at startup, before showing up loginscreen display the message box

Quote:

Could not update ICEauthority file / var / lib / gdm / .ICEautority.

I gave CRTR Alt F1 to switch to text mode, and consult the file in that directory to verify the existence of the file and its permissions:

I've checked some forums, but apparently they relate to other scenarios that describe the solution does not work

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Gnome Shell - Could Not Update ICEauthority File /home/user/.ICEauthority

May 1, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity as the default desktop environment, but I wanted Gnome 3 instead. So the installation of Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell went through, and I'm presented with a nice "gnomeish" gdm, but when I type my user password and try to log in all I get is this:

Code: Could not update ICEauthority file /home/pontus/.ICEauthority And all I can click is a button that logs me out.

I've tried from the terminal to change owner and rights and I've even tried to delete the file, but I still get this dialog every time I log in.

Ubuntu :: Could Not Update ICEauthority File /home/holocene/.ICEauthority

Jan 2, 2010

I have installed 9.10 on a Dell laptop internal drive.My problem is that I am getting the error:

Code:

Could not update ICEauthority file /home/holocene/.ICEauthority then after hitting enter I get:

Code:

There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)

How do I get this user and files functioning again?

What I did:

1. Installed ubuntu

2. got wireless/mail/other things working and used them for a couple days.

3. Decided my password was too short (insecure) and changed it. I used the GUI tool on the admin screen called Users, I think it is called.

4. restarted my laptop later, and got these messages.

I have googled extensively about this error, and it seems there is no good explanation as to how to get my user "holocene" back as a functioning user account. I have been able to setup another user using the recovery console but this is not a satisfying compromise.

Ubuntu :: Could Not Update ICEauthority File /home/username/.ICEauthority

Feb 18, 2010

I've updated my password some days back and when I restarted my machine I got error messages stating...

1. Could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority it gives me only xClose tab and when I click it I get another error message saying...

2. There is a problem with the configuration server.

(/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) xClose and the last message which i get says that...

3. Nautilus could not create the required folder "/home/username/Desktop".Before running Nautilus, please create the following folder, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it.

Now every time when I restart my machine I've to follow this procedure...

1. I select my username and then login using xterm.

2. I give command ecryptfs-mount-private and give another password to mount it (it's not taking my regular password)

3. After doing this it takes me back to the login screen and allow me to log in normally...

First I would like to say I learned my lesson by being high on curosity! I believe I was goofing around with systems-users-advance systems and one of the drop downs I submitted root. Proceeding this path it lead me to a tricky question about transfering old files to a new home or something, but it will also delete the old files on my old home idk maybe two gconf ( read the username)

Ubuntu :: 9.10 - User Cannot Login (ICEauthority File Not Updated)

Jan 16, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I currently have two users myself and my wife. Yesterday morning when I tried to log in I receive the following messages:

"Could not update ICEauthority file /home/david/.ICEauthority"
then
"There is a problem with configuration server /usr/lib/libgonf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 with status 256"
and finally
"Nautilus could not create the following required folder /home/david/Desktop/.nautilius"

I searched the forum and followed some stuff about chmod 755 for the gconf file etc but still have the same problem. My wife can still log in with no problem by the way.

General :: Unable To Login - Could Not Update ICEAuthority File

Jan 6, 2010

I installed Fedora 11 and was trying to setup a Web server for pure LAMP development and wanted to port forward with router so that my webserver can be access from inter net.

Server installation was perfectly fine. I was able to login from the user which I created during the installation. Instead of auto get ip I assigned 192.168.1.100 and then I set a HTML Server port forward.

Where the problem started.

I wanted to configure few users on vsFTPd and I tell you truly there is no place on Google where some one has defined a descent way which any person can understand that we can add some users.

Somewhere I found that Linux normal users can also access ftp if the local_user directive is set YES which i did and I added 3 users.

I wanted that whenever user is connected by vsFTPd returned them /var/www/html directory. Where as vsFTPD was taking them to their home directory (respective to each user)

I was unable to find any way that I can configure vsFTPd to set one default directory path which take every user to www/html directory so that developers can deploy websites.

I notice Gnome GUI offers each user a home directory path so I though why not I gave every new user and existing user /var/www/html as their home directory

which i did... and this is how my Server stop responding to any further login attempts.

FTP is still working fine if I left it open It let the ftp client to connect but Linux server is not allowing login by any user

It gives an error 'Could not update ICEAuthority file /var/www/html//.ICEauthority'

And when i click close then next message is : 'There is problem with the configuration server (/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)'

Is there any way i can undo? Is there any way i can go directly to shell and remove those users and re-add some new users in the default way - I believe if I can add one new user with default directory /home/user I will be able to login

After this is resolve still I will need to search how we can add FTP users and take them to the directory /var/www/html

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Login After Update - Could Not Update ICEauthority File

May 5, 2011

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 on my Toshiba 32-bit laptop without any problems.Since the upgrade I am starting to have troubles on this machine. Most others are 64-bit and bar an Evolution issue are fine.In this case, 24 hours after the upgrade the machine wanted to do an Update. It would not allow the update until I fixed some broken packages which I did via Synaptics Package Manager. I then Marked All Upgrades and did the update from there.It was fine until I shut down and tried to log in again.I got the Blue Screen of Death!!!!!! I thought only Windows had this!Anyway, I could not log in. The auto login was not working so I used Other which gave me Recovery, entered my UN and PW, and I got the error message:

HTML Code:

Could not update ICEauthority file

I have searched the forum and some other sites, but none of the ideas can I get to work. I can start the machine using a 9.10 CD in the trial mode, but can not download the files suggested or delete the ICEauthority file, etc...
