I think I caused this error when I did: chown [my user name] /home/[my user name]
I fixed it by doing: chmod o=u /home/[my user name] I didn't like that solution, because I really wanted to be the only person who would be able to access those files, but this is just my desktop computer. I don't actually know how to fix it so that root and [my user name] can be owners. I'm somewhat of a noob at linux. -- X auth cookie file privileges changed when using startx from within an X session? https://launchpad.net/bugs/14353 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
