I also feel that this should be critical, I have had this problem 3 times now. On a jaunty -> karmic upgrade, karmic fresh install and a karmic xubuntu fresh install. I thought chucking gnome would rid me of this problem? I get the same errors but looking at my system from a live cd I don't have a /var/lib/gdm/.ICEAuthority file, the /var/lib/gdm/ directory exists, with some slightly weird permissions though: ubu...@ubuntu:/media/disk-1/var/lib$ ls -l total 232 ... drwxr-x--- 11 avahi messagebus 4096 2009-12-22 13:47 gdm ... What do I do?
