Problem can be bypassed by creating a symlink. >From strace I can see that programs are looking for socket "/tmp/.ICE- unix/6026". With 'ls', I can see that instead there is a socket "/tmp /.ICE-unix/6943". So I can bypass the problem by creating a symlink:
$ cd /tmp/.ICE-unix/ $ ln -s 6943 6026 $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tee tee 4 2008-08-14 12:06 6026 -> 6943 srwxrwxrwx 1 tee tee 0 2008-08-11 12:33 6943 After that, xterm opens immediately. $ xterm Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected Vim also opens without delay. However, OpenOffice still does not work. -- Connection to ICE-unix/.. socket times out so programs take minutes to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/58171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
