Bug Description
Any attempt at trying to log-in to either my Gnome desktop or KDE desktop fails and I can only get into ICE or failsafe.
When logging in after either reboot or from cold my correct password doesn't get me in to either Gnome or KDE desktops. I'm using Breezy and have had no trouble since upgrading, until this. I can get in through ICE, but it is very short of programs etc.
More info: On attempting to get in to KDE I get the following erroe message: no write access to '/home/
I then get a window saying "could not start ksmserver check your intsallation"
How do I fix, please? Derek S.

To post a comment you must log in.
Could you run ls -la /home - sounds like a permission problem
