When trying to logon into Ubuntu and after entering the password, the login screen returns?
If the log shows the following error: “Gconf-sanity-check-2 Exited”
Then, view the persmissions on the /tmp directory:
root@linuxsource# ls -ld /tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 27 sander users 12288 Feb 02 21:32 /tmp/
Now set the correct permissions:
root@linuxsource# chown -R root:root /tmp root@linuxsource# chmod 1777 /tmp
Verify the permissions
root@linuxsource# ls -ld /tmp/ drwx-rwx-rwt 27 root root 12288 Feb 02 21:34 /tmp/
If the problem remains, maybe the homedir has the wrong permissions ?
root@linuxsource# # ls -ld /tmp/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 02 21:39 /home/
If the the permission does not match the sample above. cprrect this:
root@linuxsource# chown root:root /home root@linuxsource# chmod 0755 /home
Reboot and try again 🙂
