[Bug 63908] Re: [dist-upgrade to edgy] Can't login into gnome (X: client 2 rejected from local host)

[towsonu2003]

in .xsession-errors file, I see "Owner of /tmp/orbit-ivan2 is not the
current user ". who is it then? can you please do:

whoami > permissions101.txt
ls -l /tmp/orbit-ivan2 >> permissions101.txt
ls -l /home >> permissions101.txt
ls -al /home/yourusername/ >> permissions101.txt
ls -alR .gconf >> permissions101.txt

(> becomes >> after the first command, also pls change yourusername to
your user name :) )

then attach the resulting permissions.txt here? It will be inside whichever directory you issued these commands. I want to check permissions as I see too many
"Failed to load source "xml:readwrite:/home/ivan2/.gconf": Failed: Could not make directory `/home/ivan2/.gconf': No such file or directory" type messages...

And finally, do you have any firewalls installed (like "firestarter"
etc)?
