I'm trying to license VNC Connect and, after I click "Apply" it says,
Failed to run /usr/bin/vnclicensewiz '-helper' '-hash' '73eeed08b449e995f0c7c141551a268ef12b0b077c5eae11c8036e25b4f72c33' '-fork' '/tmp/.vnc-1000/vnclicensewiz.vncpipehelper.190001747' '-log=*:stderr:10' as user root.
Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
I have had the last line appear when I try to do other things, too. I looked at this question but none of the answers worked.
The output of ls -la ~/.Xauthority is
ls: cannot access '/home/amolith/.Xauthority': No such file or directory
The output of ls -l /home/amolith/*thorityis
ls: cannot access '/home/amolith/*thority': No such file or directory
The output of ls -al /home/ is
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 21 09:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jul 21 11:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x 27 amolith amolith 4096 Jul 26 08:38 amolith
The output of echo $XAUTHORITY is blank.
I'm running Ubuntu 17.04 with GNOME 3 on a Parrot Chromebook. I've never had issues with the .Xauthority file before I did a clean install of Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 from here on the Ubuntu wiki.
