Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I had ordered a shutdown but there had been no activity and I couldn't
click anything (the desktop had frozen) so I just turned the computer
off by keeping the power button pressed for a few seconds. On the next
startup, after I had logged in with my usual username/pass I had a
window show up which said something in the lines that the file /home/my-
user-name/.ICEauthority was either *existent* or not writeable. I was
asked to log in with a failsafe session and either remove the file or
make it writeable. I did just that -- logged in with a failsafe session,
ran sudo mc and deleted the file which was shown with a "?" in front of
its name, was red in color and had a size of 0 bytes. After that I
logged in normally and made an account in launchpad :) My ubuntu version
is the latest updated 8.10 Since the whole thing happened at startup,
I'm writing gdm as the source package.
** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
