Bug 114738 – KDE doesn't start out of KDM, if /tmp/.ICE-unix isn't owned by root and chmod'ed to 1777.

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99679
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description docbrown 2005-12-07 04:55:34 UTC]

Since it is possible to use WIPE_TMP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc, KDE won't
start if /tmp/.ICE-unix isn't owned by root and chmod'ed to 1777. If this
directory isn't present, KDE creates it, but only with permissions of the user,
try to logging in. KDE started in safemode says, that this directory must be
owned by root and have to chmod'ed to 1777. If not, KDE hangs at "Initializing
peripherals".

I can't remember this behavior in earlier releases. Is it a bug or a feature? :-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/xdm stop
2. rm -Rf /tmp/*
3. /etc/init.d/xdm start
4. try to log in as user

Actual Results:  
KDE hangs at "Initializing peripherals".

Expected Results:  
It should finish the login process.

Please add your emerge info output. I'm using WIPE_TMP="yes" and I have no 
problem at all...

Does KDE creates that directory with the right permissions and user if it is not
present and u try to login as user?

Nah, seems like the bug in baselayout was fixed in later versions.
