Xauth/X11 ssh forwarding errors with .Xauthority file not writable
I had same issue after syncing my home folder on Ubuntu 12.04. I resolved it using following commands:
rm ~/.Xaut*
Then I logged out and re-logged in. Following warning arisen:
/usr/bin/xauth: file /home/iranice/.Xauthority does not exist
After that, Linux created .Xauthority
file automatically. I logged out and re-logged in and everything was OK.
