Sounds to me like you tried to run a kde tool, most likely systemsettings, with root permissions in a bad way and it ate permissions to your ICEauthority file. Use kdesu or kdesudo to run it next time perhaps.
Try this as root/sudo (it may need two colons on the latter, I always mix em up, but I don't think so):
chmod 600 /home/yourname/.ICEauthority
chown yourname:users /home/yourname/.ICEauthority

[SOLVED] gParted wont start

I have Arch installed with KDE. I wanted to make some changes to my partiton table and thought of using gParted to get the work done.
I installed gparted as:
sudo pacman -S gparted
Now, when I try executing gparted form the GUI, I get the authentication window, where it asked for the user password. Upon entering it, nothing at all happens. gParted just wont start.
I tried running it from Konsole:
sudo gparted /dev/sda
I get an error as:
No protocol specified
(gpartedbin:2475): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
Please help identify why gParted wont start on my system.

KDE wont start: kbuildsycoca eating CPU [solved]

I first noticed this yesterday when I created a new account for my gf. When logging into KDE it hung on initialising system services. Using a ssh session I could see kbuildsycoca using 99% of the CPU. When killed, the account logged in.
Logged back into my own account fine, noticed kbuildsycoca was using ~70% CPU, so killed its process. Now my account also hangs when logging in. Doh! When run from a terminal, kbuildsycoca says its Reusing existing ksyscoa and hangs.
Any help would be appreciated!

Well after lots of attempted solutions I resorted to removing the whole of KDE , qt and all that depended on them and all files I could find related and re-installing the lot.
Not the best solution :oops: but the problem is gone

Dbus/KDE wont start! EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemo

Help! I'm not sure what I did, but now nothing that needs dbus will work, including KDE and all KDE apps, VLC, and alot of other programs as well.
I am using KDEmod (not sure if this makes a difference for my particular issue)
The error i am always getting is:
Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
This happened some time around my last KDEmod upgrade to KDE 4.3, but i'm not sure if this had anything to do with it or not. I also may or may not have carelessly overwritten some vital configuration file with a .pacnew not understanding what I was doing (Still getting the hang of the ways Arch, although I must say I'm hooked for life)
I've hunted around for clues, and haven't found anything useful, and all my drives have plenty of free space. I've tried clearing out /tmp to no avail, and it's making me so sad! Reinstalling dbus hasn't helped either. I've been having alot of nostalgic fun using e16 in the meantime, but I miss KDE and most of my programs, does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
Victor

I'm not absolutely sure but it shouldnt be wrong. I just remember XFCE4 also complained about dbus, been a while though. Ensure dbus is in the daemons array of rc.conf and/or start the daemon explictely,
If it still doesnt work I run out of ideas

Bonjour Wont start (Error 6)

I seem to be yet another person having trouble getting bonjour to install correctly. I am currently running on windows 7 64 bit, i can get itunes to install fine but i get warnings about bonjour not starting resulting in not being able to access remote speakers or home sharing.
When trying to reinstall bonjour separately i get the standard error message of not being able to start the service please check you have permissions ect.
But if i goto the event viewer i am getting errors from MsiInstaller
Product: Bonjour -- Error 1920. Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
As well as Bonjour service
WSARecvMsg failed (6)
any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks.
Here's the theory, first.
Standard instructions for "complete" uninstallation/reinstallation of BonJour, as per for example:
[Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923]
... are incomplete. Like QuickTime, BonJour stashes some components down in the system files. (In BonJour's case, there's stuff in both your 32-bit and 64-bit system files on a 64-bit machine.) Like any other file, they can get damaged, and so there's the potential that they can silently fail to be removed/updated by any given BonJour/iTunes update.
So I'd like us to try an "ultra-clean" iTunes/BonJour uninstall, removing the BonJour files from the system folders as well as clearing away documented program files and folders.
Here's the procedure.
Head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall BonJour.
Next we'll clear away any left-over program files and folders.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the "BonJour" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Go back into Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
Open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Right-click on the "BonJour" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Go back into Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
Right-click on the dnssd.dll and dns-sd.exe files (if they still exist), and select "Delete".
Go back into the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
Right-click on the dnssd.dll and dns-sd.exe files (if they still exist), and select "Delete".
Empty your recycle bin, and restart the PC. Try another iTunes install.
Does it seem to go through properly? If so, try launching iTunes. Does it launch without the errors this time?

(SOLVED) Wireshark Wont Start

Installed Wireshark. It will start from the user's cli, but from root I get this:
bash-3.2# wireshark

From the user cli I can't run any captures because the interfaces can't be put in promiscuous mode as a normal user.

Terrible idea !
> Installed Wireshark. It will start from the user's cli, but from root I get this:
This is the intended behavior
Launching an app that does not require root privilege with root privileges is a bad idea unless particular reason (that's the purpose of xhost +).
If you want to use wireshark as root, use its CLI binaries :
/usr/bin/capinfos
/usr/bin/dftest
/usr/bin/dumpcap
/usr/bin/editcap
/usr/bin/idl2wrs
/usr/bin/mergecap
/usr/bin/randpkt
/usr/bin/rawshark
/usr/bin/text2pcap
/usr/bin/tshark
But you don't want to run the gtk GUI as root.

Photoshop elements 8 wont start error code 150:30

can someone help

Okay, that's good. Go to your username>library>preferences and delete everything you can find pertaining to PSE, especially:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number > settings
and any lockfiles with the same names.
That library is hidden in mavericks. To see it click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the Option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there, go to the Saved Application States folder and delete anything for PSE.

When i verify it says that volume cant be repaired.
If anyone has any help please let me know and i will reward points.

disc warrior has been great. I have had to use the computer in firewire disk mode and use my laptop to do all the maintenance on for my desktop. It has rebuilt everything and it all seems fine. The desktop still doesnt start up and i think its because its looking for a disc in the drive which i took out when i thought i didnt need it any more. I need to somehow tell it that i want the startup disc to be macintosh HD not the cd. is there any way of doing this.
Thanks again and i will mark as solved.
Thanks, Ben

Itunes wont start and i get no error messages

i just downloaded itunes 7.3 and itunes wont start any ideas how to fix?

Okay. I'm still wondering about your firewall. A "persistent" iTunes.exe in your processes is most consistent with a firewall blocking iTunes, iTunesHelper and/or QuickTime from accessing the Internet. (Norton Internet Security 2005 is by far the worst offender in this regard, but it can be produced both other firewalls too.)
Head into the Firewalls settings and make sure that iTunes, iTunesHelper, and QuickTime are all being allowed full access to the internet.
If iTunes still doesn't launch after making sure the firewall is correctly adjusted, reboot the PC and try the suggestion from the following document. (It's a much rarer issue, but it can also produce that persistent iTunes.exe symptom in conjunction with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure.)
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
