incorrect/misleading error message says home folder should have 644 permissions instead of 755

Hmm. I was originally going to post a bug report on this bug because of a spelling error in Breezy (I'll get to that), but I saw this existing report and wanted to comment.

The poster (above) is correct, simply changing your home directly permissions (not the contents necessarily) will make this error go away. So, I can confirm the bug (in Breezy). After doing as suggested I no longer get the error upon login.

Now, for those that do get the error, there is a spelling mistake:

"$HOME/.dmrc file has incorrect permissions and is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File sould be owned by user and have 644 permissions."

Look for the word "sould" in the last sentence.

this same error message appeared in Dapper Flight 4 gnome default installation...

just so you guys know :)

Happened for the first time to me this morning on a FEISTY

I got 2 errors . First was could not write to ~.ICEauthority which is probably related to the other error of permissions mentioned above

I changed ownership of home to myself and also a 755 on it . 644 is probably incorrect and a newbie wont even know what that means.

It is saying to change the permissions of the ~/.dmrc file, not the home ~/ folder.

This is likely caused my changes to the files during a backup process, or in Rajeev's case upgrading directly to the latest version and not going the supported rout.
