Bug Description

When I intend to start Ubuntu, after I key my user name and password, it
shows the following dialog: "The $home/leon/.dmrc user file is being
ignored, it should be a user file and have the 644 permits. After awaiting
for a few seconds, it appears the dialog "The session manager has not been
able to block the file /home/leon/.ICEauthority" and it stops there. At time
of keying the password, I can choose to open the terminal, but I am new with
Ubuntu and I do not know what to key in Gnome to correct this. Could you
help me, please, and instruct me in a simple step by step way. My main
problem is now how to copy the directory /home/leon/Documentos. When I
intend to do that in the terminal it always say that this directory is
"omitted". Is it becasuse I am trying to copy it to FAT 32 format?. Of
course, I have the added problem of not knowing which ara the exact command
lines. I have tried to give permits in the terminal as per your
instructions, but the same problem persits. I also created another user, but
it says that it is a no sudoer and does not allow to do practically
anything.
Should I be able to copy the Documentos Directory, I would rather go to
format the drive and install Ubuntu anew.
Gracias,
León

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, , because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
