"Could not update ICEauthority file..." error

Question

I have fedora16 on my computer and omnet++ 4.2.1.

I just installed omnet++ 4.2.2.

when I restart my system from now I am unable to login as my user name.

Fedora is giving me this error message : Could not update ICEauthority file/home... .ICEauthority.

It leaves me at the desktop background without access to anything.

Any suggestion for this error would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Its probably because of permission errors. When the error pops up, Try this:

1) switch to a new virtual terminal ctrl alt F2 and login

2) sudo chown username ./ -R

That solved the problem for me.
