I saw the same thing while cloning a hard drive. I hadn't set the permissions correctly for my /tmp. Notice the "t": drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Dec 22 22:01 /tmp It's possible that you've got the same problem. Otherwise, if you've been changing user account details, you mightn't still own the files you've previously created in /tmp and are trying to use them again. The solution to that would be to log out, and use the root user to delete all the files in /tmp. This is easiest done when the GUI isn't running. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
