This error can be caused by various factors.
Resolution
There are actually five possible resolutions:
Make sure that you are not running out of disk space
Run
dfand make sure you have sufficient disk space:1$ df -HIf you are low on disk space remove unnecessary files from your system or increase the disk size.
Make sure that ~/.Xauthority is owned by you
Run the following command to find ownership:
1$ ls -l ~/.XauthorityRun
chownandchmodto fix permission problems:1 2$ chown user:group ~/.Xauthority $ chmod 0600 ~/.XauthorityReplacing
user:groupwith your actual user name and group name.Make sure that X11 SSHD forwarding is enabled
Make sure that the following line exists in
sshd_configfile:1$ grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_configSample output:
1X11Forwarding yesIf X11 is disabled then add the following line to
sshd_configand restart the ssh server:1X11Forwarding yesMake sure that X11 client forwarding is enabled
Make sure your local
ssh_confighas the following lines:1 2Host * ForwardX11 yesFinally, login to the remote server and run X11 as follows from your Linux system:
1ssh -X user@remote.box.example.com xeyesPrevent X11 altogether with "-x" (lowercase)
1ssh -x user@remote.box.example.comThis will allow you to start/complete the install all via the command line, negating the need for X11
