Just ran into this after on my (up-to-date) Ubuntu 13.04 after a crash
caused by power-loss. Found that removing the .Xauthority suffices to be
able to log in again.

Paul - it's completely safe to remove the .Xauthority after your X
session has ended as long as you aren't storing any other tokens in it
that you might need to keep (e.g. tokens for logging into remote X

I may be experiencing a seemingly related issue, in that for some reason, the
.Xauthority file gets created with
-rw--- 1 root root permissions, which causes lightdm to flash the black
screen and then return to the login screen.
sudo chmod user:user .Xauthority
fixes the issue for me.

I may have the same problem. I'm running up to date 13.04, but Ubuntu,
not Lubuntu. When I boot, I cannot log in until I delete .Xauthority
using a tty session. This happens every reboot.

Note that though this appears to be a continuation of an old bug,
reading the earlier comments suggests that it was an issue with the
ownership of .Xauthority. It seems that the new problem is not that but
is related to the contents of the file.

As Timo says this is absolutely repeatable, on all my Saucy machines.
Log in via lightdm then login via ssh from another machine using ssh -X.
Logout ssh and logout locally, then cannot login via lightdm. Removing
.Xauthority fixes it. Bad .Xauthority attached.
** Attachment added: ".Xauthority.
I can reproduce this issue at will by logging in from lightdm, then
logging in via ssh -X, 'xauth -b list' shows that it has two entries
now. Log out from unity and try to log back in -> no go until I remove
.Xauthority. Permissions are 0600, file owned by me..

Robert,
I do not recall what the permissions where but I do know that before the
problem I had never messed with .Xauthority. The problem did not persist
once it was deleted.

Nate - your .Xauthority seems valid, do you remember what permissions it
had? Did the problem persist after deleting it?

Timo sent me his xauthority directly and in that case it contained an
invalid entry. libxau would have ignored the entry but there was a bug
in lightdm that caused it to not write the new xauth entry.

I suffer from this bug for a week now. I have no idea what causes this.
I use Lubuntu 13.04. My hobe directory is mounted with NFS, but for
years, so this cannot be the sole cause.
My workaround is to remove /home/bronger/.Xauthority through
/etc/rc.local.

Does anyone have a .Xauthority that was causing the problem? Can you
attach it here?
