Hi !
I just ran into an annoying problem. I logged in as a normal user
but I had to "su" (I didn't want to open another console). I typed the
password an voila' ! After that I started KDE and doing the
administration trough GUI. I logged out and wanted to start X in the
name of user. But it didn't start just gave me the message that the
user didn't have write permission to /home/username/.Xauthority
file. I hit the CTRL+C twice and I was able start KDE. And the
xauth was right: I didn't succeed to do any changes on my desktop
including Language and keyboard section. After that I checked the
owner of the file is root:root . The same thing happened with MD6.1
on my mother's machine. I deleted the user and the problem
solved. But that's not a _real_solution_ ! Second time the I got the
message after a minute : xauth: timeout in locking the file
/home/username/.Xauthority . Another CTRL+C and KDE worked. I
just wondering is there a _real_ solution and what caused this.
Thanx,
Ago
