Fixing "Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority"

You'll see this when Ubuntu just finished booting and you're about to login to your account.


Simple, just open the terminal and type this:

sudo chown -R gdm: /var/lib/gdm


then restart :)

    Hi,

    It didn't work for me.
    Instead it gave me an error like
    "chown: missing operand after gdm:/var/lib/gdm"

    Actually I don't have a folder gdm in my /var/lib/.

    Any help would be appreciated
