Hi folks
After deleting the .ICEauthority file from my home directory calibre just successfully completed a download of El Pais
This is, to say the least, weird.
Now I'm waiting to see what I've broken by deleting the .ICE file
Out of interest, it wasn't a permissions issue. I checked before deleting it and the file was owned by me as current user and had the correct RW permissions.
I have seen where this file gets incorrect permissions for random reasons but that doesn't appear to be my issue.
Thanks for listening, folks. I'll keep trying. I'm now about to reboot. According to some posts the xfce4 desktop needs the .ICE file to start. If you don't hear from me soon I'm re-installing.
