In addition to the answer suggested by Ricardo, I also want you to do the following:

cd /home/machine

mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.old

touch .Xauthority

chown machine:machine .Xauthority 

In cases where chown produces an error, just provide execute and read write permissions, which should solve the problem.

chmod +x .Xauthority

  Great that an answer here worked for you! Unfortunately the format of this site doesn't really support saying thanks as a post. If something worked for you, an upvote is the way to indicate its usefulness, or you can leave a comment if you really want to, once you've earned 50 reputation (since comments are not easily moderated, we have this limit to prevent spam and misuse of comments :( ) We'll probably delete this post to keep the page clear so people can find the answers.
