Only using linux a couple of months, bare with me. Been googling this problem, alot like it but none matching my issue. Running linux mint 17.2. just enabled auto login. First restart and the error message 'could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority' appears then kicks me back to the login screen. I'm able to access the terminal/cli by using ctrl alt f3 from here. Had a look in /home/user/ using ls -al and there was no ICEauthority file there. I read i should recreate it and then apply ownership & permissions but this has made no change. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks
