Could not update ICEauthority file /home/me/.ICEauthority [closed]

Solution 1:

Yes, there is a problem in Gnome, here is the solution, instead of uninstall and re install ubuntu, at least you can save your data backup

sudo apt-get install lxde

Installed after that do Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the login screen,

now select lxde in the drop down menu, entered my password, you can able to now login to an LXDE session

Solution 2:

I just had the same issue. I got rid of it by using the following command:

sudo chown user:user /home/user

Replace user with your user name.

Solution 3:

I am going to re-install ubuntu. Cannot debug this. Probably gnome3 install borked it.
