Re: DCOPServer could not be started

I had a similar problem doing a Debian Sarge install (using the Debian Next-Gen installer). The problem was permissions on /usr/X11R6/bin, which contains the program iceauth, which (I think) dcopserver needs to start. As installed, the directory was owned by root:root, and permissions were set to drwx------.

I used CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a text terminal. Logged as root, and then `cd /usr/X11R6` and `chmod go+rx bin`. Permissions are then drwxr-xr-x.

I switched back to the X Server with ALT+F7, and login worked fine.

Hope this helps.
