[Bug 823775] Re: Cannot login: could not update ICEauthority file .ICEauthority

 

Well, made the mistake to go for precise.
So nothing works at all. System hangs. Kernel Panic. Other bugs..

Well, had that issue also. Deleting, changing the Attributes of that
.Xauthority file did not fix a thing.

My workaround: Purge gdm. Not lightdm. Remove the leftover files
manually.. ( in /etc/ and /var/lib/gdm? ) Purge and reinstall itself
wasn't enough. Then reinstall via aptitude. Works again then.
