Hi people,

Running into dcopserve and tdelaunch failures.

I did all the usual things. deleted dop etc etc files, check perms and the
like. Even created a new user.Different machines etc.
Root runs with very little problem but still has those errors on occasion.

General question...
Anyone else encounter this?

Kate,

  There is an old bug resulting from an iceAuth issue that will prevent dcop
from starting. I cannot recall the exact issue, but it was either an xorg or
iceauth version change issue. Another possible problem is a change or
misconfigured hostname. Have you changed that lately? I did a quick search and
can't find a decent link to the iceauth issue I'm thinking about.

  Maybe your google foo is better than mine there, but I recall it being a
2016 issue? (or maybe a year or two on either side). The search results I get
show 2008-2009 range that isn't the problem I'm thinking of.
