No Write Access

Having trouble accessing my User Account. No write access to /home/...../.ice authority. Xandros Premium 4.0.

2 weeks ago similiar problem. I'm sure others have had similiar problems. Have done, just about, everything to resolve but permission keeps changing to root account upon startup. User Account is not accessible.

Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank you very much!

Pete

cd to /home/user_id folder as root and delete .ICEauthority and .Xauthority files.
