Whenever I ssh in to my droplet (puTTY), Ubuntu 12.04 spits out:
/usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/username/.Xauthority
Does anyone know how I should address this?
Thanks!

Im having the same issue.
My username is bob and I did:
cd /home/bob mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.old touch .Xauthority chown bob:bob .Xauthority
But nothing. Restarted vncserver, same error and now I cant use VNC.

Kamal Nasser had it right the first time, the only thing is that you have to do it from a local console. If you do it whilst ssh-ing in then any Xauth you create during that session will have the same ownership issues.
Tu maquina inicial le hayas puesto #xhost + <br>En tu maquina donde te conectas verifica <br>Que el /etc/selinux/config este como permissive o disable <br>
Awesome!! Really glad to hear that :]
Holy $H!T Kamal; <br> <br>It worked like a charm!!! You’re a genius… or, a really good Googler! (Is that even a word?) <br> <br>In all seriousness, thanks for taking the time to help me out. <br> <br>-Pablo

1 ) cd /home/ubuntu mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.old touch .Xauthority SUDO chown machine:machine .Xauthority
but still no good results, any idea?
