| 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.

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING.  This is a known, much-discussed issue.

Joe
