Error reading .xsession-errors
0
I am having trouble reading .xsession-errors
I have tried ~/.xsession-errors and cat ~/.xsession-errors
All result in permission denied
I use Ubuntu 16.04
When I type this command in...
namei -l ~/.xsession-errors
This is the output...
f: /home/mikulis/.xsession-errors
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root home
drwx——— mikulis mikulis mikulis
-rw———- root root .xsession-errors

What does it all mean? How do we fix it?

It seems to indicate that the file is owned and only readable byroot(usually a result of doing something ill-advised likesudo startx) while the directories above are OK. However that should mean thatsudo cat ~/.xsession-errorswould work, so perhaps there's something else wrong? Regardless, start by trying to fix the ownership i.e.sudo chown mikulis:mikulis ~/.xsession-errorsand report back please
