[Bug 870316] Re: creating of new user not compatible with gdm

 

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 exprience no problems with that one... ) and :0-slave.log.1 (there is
my test user mentioned, and that is the one that fails).

for example:
(gnome-settings-daemon:3358): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to create profile from EDID data: Fehler beim Erstellen des Ordners: Keine Berechtigung (means no permission to create folder)

** Attachment added: ":0-slave.log.1"

Title:
  creating of new user not compatible with gdm

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Creation of a new user after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2 fails
  in the following way:

  The newly created user can't login at gdm (3.0.4-0ubuntu11).
  gdm stops and outputs "could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority"
  ls -la /home/username/ at a shell logged in with the new username shows no such file.

  Solution to this was:
  Use lightdm (1.0.1-0ubuntu4) instead of gdm.
