I had the same problem on a different machine, an amd64 Gutsy 7.10. Could be bypassed like above, by symlinking the .ICE-unix/NUMBER from strace to .ICE-unix/CORRECTNUMBER.
Symptoms included slow evince start, can't open menu in OpenOffice, OpenOffice crashing. The machine had been running long time with the same X session. Then I logged out, changed language and logged back in. Problem probably started after logging back in. -- Connection to ICE-unix/.. socket times out so programs take minutes to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/58171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
