Users $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. The file should be owned by user and have 644 permissions.

O.K., so here's what the command line reports:

jerry@Compaq:~$ ls -l $HOME/.d*
-rw-r--r-- 1 jerry jerry 28 Jan 31 15:25 /home/jerry/.dmrc

which shows that the file is owned by user, me, jerry, and have 644 permissions, which it does.

How does this get fixed? I've another computer next to this one, same level, which doesn't get the error? It shows:

jerry@linux:~$ sudo ls -l $HOME/.d*
-rw------- 1 jerry jerry 28 Feb 2 17:36 /home/jerry/.dmrc

which is not 644, but do note I had to use sudo to see it. Used same CD to install both.

Any info I can supply?

Thanks, Jerry
