Public bug reported:
I am using a DELL XPS M1330 Laptop with latest Hardy and I first
experienced this bug after I updated from Gutsy to Hardy (When it was
still Beta).
When my laptop is using battery power (not plugged in), it happens that
Xorg fails to launch. The problem does not happen everytime (I don't
know why) but once it happened, the only way to fix it is to plug the
laptop in (on sector power) and reboot.
The error given by Xorg (on a blue background) is the following (Translated
from french):
"The server (daemon) authentication folder (daemon/ServAuthDir) is defined at
/var/lib/gdm but it does not belong to user 108 and to group 118. Please fix
folder rights or configuration and restart GDM."
Although the dialog has an "OK" button, it is impossible to press it. I have to
press CTRL+ALT+F2 to get a terminal. Then I can log in using my user ("chris").
However, I get the following error on login :
"Error: No directory, logging in with HOME=/
- bash: cannot create temp file for here document : filesystem is read-only."
Indeed, /home is empty and the filesystem is in read only mode.
