"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.

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.

by the way, login with your username only, no the root – Jay Aurabind Jan 26 '13 at 14:56
