ICE and USB BT

Hello.

I bought a new USB Bluetooth Dongle to apply in my openSUSE 11.1 system.

Now, when I restart the PC (and immediattly before the logon screen), I get the following error:

Could not create ICE listening socket
Cannot establish any listening sockets

then when I press the OK button, I get the following:
ICE Listen for connection did not return a local listener

After I press the OK button, I can logon normally.

Could it be from the new USB BT dongle adapter?

What is ICE? What does ICE mean?

Thank you all.

Are you using Gnome?

There is an open bugzilla for this:

Bug 476821 - ICE fails to create Listening Socket
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476821

BTW, its seems something related to network services…

Hello Camaleón!

Yes, I’m using Gnome.
My computer is a Toshiba Laptop U400-15E running an openSUSE 64bit Gnome operative system.

I now realize that it is an intermittent problem (it doesn’t always happen - I don’t know why).

I agree with all of Jim Omura’s observations, but in my case the error occurs before the LogOn screen!

Do you know what ICE is for?

Thank you again!

As per comment #8 it seems to be a problem with session manager to properly
start.

Keep watching that bugzilla for any patch they may release.

True is not O:-)

Well, Wikipedia has more info:

ICE - Inter-client communication
