Comment 12 for bug 35217

I agree ... this should be a high priority bug. I have tried other suggestions from earlier discussions where it was suggested that for some reason the ownership on the .ICEauthority file in my home directory has changed. And all that was needed to do to resolve the situation was to was to remove the file or change the owner ship to me instead of root. This didn't work either. Not being able to access your system in spite of trying to resolve things via safe terminal mode is pretty frustrating. I have more than enough space on my system (55 G HD). Further more I feel uneasy deleting stuff from the / files system since I this may affect booting up in a drastic way. I continue to get this issue with a new installations of ubuntu since version 6.06. I am really thinking of moving to another version of linux where this is not being experienced.
