Can someone assist with the diagnosis and debug, please?

A rookie Linux user, but I am comfortable with the terminal, if I have a good instruction set.

Thanks.

Well not being an expert Ubuntu user but an expert google search user laugh.gif but I did find this command that might fix your problem haslip.

sudo chown yourusername ~/.dmrc
chmod 644 ~/.dmrc


That should do the trick as it has a good successful rate fro mthe various topics I have seen about this.

CODE
sudo chmod 700 /home/jim
sudo chmod 644 /home/jim/.dmrc

refer to this article for more details.
