[5-STABLE] Hello to all, I use icewm as default wm. Today I compiled gnome2 to give it a try and I received the error below: ===== _IceTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.ICE-unix will not be created. _IceTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.ICE-unix) failed, errno = 2 _IceTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local ** (gnome-session:972): WARNING **: Cannot establish any listening sockets waiting for X server to shut down ===== My first thought is a permission problem same as firefox a few weeks ago, so I login as root, startx gnome2 and exit. Now, gnome2 starts ok with my user. Can anyone checked this out? If you got gnome2 working ok as a regular user, please try the following setup: (as root; console mode): # rm -r /tmp/.X11-unix/ # rm -r /tmp/.ICE-unix/ (as a regular user): $ startx (gnome2) I got the same error everytime I do this.
