<div dir="ltr">I'm having problems with error messages about 'unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file'. I found some online help that said open the terminal and check various settings, but I can't open the terminal. All I get is a blank gray screen.<div>
<br></div><div>I'm also unable to run Update Manager and get the same Xauthorization message. I can't run my Office or GIMP. I either get the Xauthorization message or a message about my swap file and in the Office case a message about the backup file.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have:</div><div><br></div><div>Toshiba Satellite laptop</div><div>Mint (last stable version)</div><div>I haven't installed anything new lately and these problems just started. I'm going to reboot now but I want to send this in case I can't get back in.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please, if anyone has any ideas for me and remember I can't access the terminal.<br><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Pat Brown<br><br><a href="http://pabrown.com/" target="_blank">http://pabrown.com/</a><br>
