I developed a problem with user 'gary' which is the user I first set
up when I installed ubuntu 10.10 (upgrade from 10.04). The problem was
that the wireless would not connect to the connection I had been
using for some months. I set up a second user, 'Spanish.' The
wireless device connected perfectly. After some time trying to figure
out what was wrong with the wireless connection, I decided it would be
easier just to move the files I had in gary over to Spanish. Fine, no
problem.
However, I have most files stored on a partition called Data. For
some reason, some of these folders are restricted from use by the user
Spanish. I changed the home folder in Spanish to home/gary. That did
not help. I logged in as 'gary' to see if I could change the
permissions from there, and I get the following two errors:
1) usr/lib/libconf2-4/gcnonf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256
2) could not update ICEauthority
1)
I read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587918. I tried
changing permissions with sudo chown. I tried a coupe of other things
so I could get back into 'gary'
2) I tried deleting home/gary/.ICEauthority but file is not found.
I tried several other things with 1 and 2 without success so i need a
bit of assistance.
