kde and ICEauthority fix

Installed XFCE and ICEauthority didn't like it.

When I logged out of XFCE and tried to log into KDE it wouldn't let me.

The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE:

No write access to '/home/myaccount/.ICEauthority'.

KDE is unable to start [OK]

was what it said to me.

Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation. [okay]

was another.

How did I fix it? Well, reinstalling ksmserver through kynaptic (and subsequently from the Kubuntu install CD) did nothing. This is what I had to do.

login to failsafe

sudo chown myaccount:myaccount /home/myaccount/.ICEauthority


-And all was better
