in .xsession-errors file, I see "Owner of /tmp/orbit-ivan2 is not the current user ". who is it then? can you please do:
whoami > permissions101.txt ls -l /tmp/orbit-ivan2 >> permissions101.txt ls -l /home >> permissions101.txt ls -al /home/yourusername/ >> permissions101.txt ls -alR .gconf >> permissions101.txt (> becomes >> after the first command, also pls change yourusername to your user name :) ) then attach the resulting permissions.txt here? It will be inside whichever directory you issued these commands. I want to check permissions as I see too many "Failed to load source "xml:readwrite:/home/ivan2/.gconf": Failed: Could not make directory `/home/ivan2/.gconf': No such file or directory" type messages... And finally, do you have any firewalls installed (like "firestarter" etc)? -- [dist-upgrade to edgy] Can't login into gnome (X: client 2 rejected from local host) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63908 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
