.dmrc ignored
When I boot up I get a message saying user $home .dmrc ignored. What can I do about this?

Re: .dmrc ignored
The permissions in your /home folder has changed. Have you done anything recently to change it?

Re: .dmrc ignored
Oh I'd be willing to bet you changed permissions on either your home folder, or a sub-folder of it. I had this issue once, and the fix wasn't pretty. I had to delete the user, and delete the user's home folder. I then had to re-create the user again after words. This was a pain in the rear end as it was my main user 1000. The lesson I learned from this was never ever modify home folder permissions other than the data folders like music or documents.
Also I should state that I certainly tried to repair the damage first. I fixed the permissions on the .dmrc file the computer was referencing. It just didn't work.

Re: .dmrc ignored
Find the .dmrc file in your home folder, open it and check the contents, it should say "Session=Gnome" (depending on what version your running!), if it says anything else, change it.
...another option is to delete it, and the system will create a new one on your next login.
I first got this error after installing The main edition after KDE with the /home being intact from the former install.

Re: .dmrc ignored
Damn really? I wish I would have known that back when I had the same problem. While my solution worked it was a hell of a lot more complicated. I can't believe all I had to do was delete the file, lol.Zwopper wrote:another option is to delete it, and the system will create a new one on your next login.

Re: .dmrc ignored
I already tried changing the permissions on the .dmrc file with no help. It looks like there may be an easier way than yours so I'll try them first.Lantesh wrote:Oh I'd be willing to bet you changed permissions on either your home folder, or a sub-folder of it.

Re: .dmrc ignored
I'll try changing Session=default to Session=Gnome and see if that helps then I'll delete it.Zwopper wrote:Find the .dmrc file in your home folder, open it and check the contents, it should say "Session=Gnome" (depending on what version your running!), if it says anything else, change it.

Re: .dmrc ignored
I tried changing the contents no help. I tried deleting it and it did not make a new one. So I am creating one and we'll see.
