The error message should, from reading the source of gdm 2.20.6-0ubuntu1, say
"User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users." That seems to match what the code checks and be clear. It's warning that the .dmrc file could be modified by someone other than the user. To avoid this, do "cd && chmod go-w . .dmrc" to remove `write' permission for `group' and `other'. -- When I login, I receive and error that the permissions are wrong for the file .dmrc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209464 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
