CDE Login Error

[Krishna Kumar Swarnkar]

I'm getting the following error when login to CDE "Couldn't recreate the Desktop Actions/DataTypes Database. Check disk space and/or permissions"

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Check permissions on the .dc folders in the user home directoy, make sure the user owns them and/or has write permission.

It is not good for these folders or files within to be owned by root.

[Krishna Kumar Swarnkar]

iam not getting any .dc folder inside user home directory.

[Steven Schweda]

> Check permissions on the .dc folders [...]

".dc"? Close?

ls -ld ~/.dt
ls -l ~/.dt

(And so on.)

As "Check disk space and/or permissions"
might suggest, a full file system could cause
this sort of problem, too.

[Krishna Kumar Swarnkar]

Permission for all .dt folder are same given below:

drwxr-xr-x 7 jafar HP-OS 8192 Jan 25 15:40 /home/jafar/.dt
drwxr-xr-x 7 krishna HP-OS 8192 Jan 25 22:29 /home/krishna/.dt
drwxr-xr-x 7 nikhil HP-OS 8192 Jan 25 15:30 /home/nikhil/.dt
drwxr-xr-x 7 vaibhav HP-OS 8192 Jan 25 15:29 /home/vaibhav/.dt

And file system usage is given as under:

[Larry Klasmier]

You need to recursively check the ownership of the contents of the .dt directory.

[Alex Glennie]

ll -d /tmp ? or is it full -->
cd /tmp
bdf . ?

see http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/General/CDE-PROBLEM-dtdtscache/m-p/2862036#M59918

[Krishna Kumar Swarnkar]

I had checked the ownerdhip of the contents of .dt directory and didn't find any difference in that as given in the output below:
