    I have 2 users on machine. One is "test" (main) and other is "guest". I usually work from "test" user. The problem: When i log in as "test" user, Desktop does not start and only cursor is flashing. Then I switch with Alt+F2, log in and reboot machine. Now I log in as "guest" and desktop starts successful. Then I switch with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and log in as "test" user. Then I command
    1. startx
    Copy the Code

    System answer:
    1. xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/test/.Xauthority
    Copy the Code

    Then black screen appears for 3-4 minutes. Then system answers:
    1. No protocol specified
    2. . .
    3. xinit: giving up
    4. xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable
    5. >waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
    6. xinit: server error
    7. xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/test/.Xauthority
    Copy the Code



    here is startx errors output:
    1. xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /home/test/.Xauthority
    2. xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /home/test/.Xauthority

    If I log in as "test" and command
    1. sudo startx
    Copy the Code

    then Desktop starts but user is root.

    Before the problem appears, I have tried to setup remote desktop with Raspberry pi. What I did do:
    1. ssh -X pi@192.168.0.100 <--- Worked
    3. sudo xinit -- :1 <--- Not worked, error appears
    4. sudo xinit /usr/bin/ssh -X pi@192.168.1.4 -f "startlxde" -- :1 <--- Not worked, error appears
    Copy the Code

    Also i have installed several applications such as Remmina, krdc, and vncserver.

    I will be very grateful for resolving my problem.

    Solution was simply:
    removing .Xauthority
