Re: DCOPServer could not be started
by Raga on Sunday 02/May/2004, @08:43

I am having the same problem with KDE 3.2 after some apt-get upgrade (debian/testing). I removed the ICE/auth files as someone here suggested - but kde-init --exit keeps giving me these errors:

/usr/X11R6/bin/iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/knoppix/.ICEauthority
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
ICE Connection rejected!

DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
DCOPServer self-test failed.
ICE Connection rejected!

iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/knoppix/.ICEauthority
kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting.

___
above actions where done while being logged in to kde as root. trying to login as user 'knoppix' created these 3 lines in auth.log:

May 2 17:11:46 AMD1800 kdm: :0[5141]: (pam_unix) session closed for user knoppix
May 2 17:16:01 AMD1800 CRON[5873]: (pam_unix) session opened for user knoppix by (uid=0)
May 2 17:19:41 AMD1800 kdm: :0[6925]: (pam_securetty) access denied: tty ':0' is not secure !

Maybe this gives a hint...
Thanks for any help
