xorg - startx doesn't work



Let's see, I cannot log in in Lubuntu 12.04. On the shell I get when typing startx:




  _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener()  failed
_XSERVTransMakeA11C0TSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establich any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

...
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

Server terminated with error (1). CLosing log file

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable
xinit: server error


Before I had only read-right on the file-system with sudo autoremove I got my write-rights back. I removed the .Xauthority* files in /home/username. Still cannot login back



I found a solution for me: Well, I hope someone can use my answer:




I changed my password, reinstalled xserver-xorg by typing: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg



After a reboot it worked for me. Notice: I removed the .XAuthority files in /home/username by: sudo rm /home/username/.XAuthority*



to get a shell try Strg-Alt-F1 when you turn on your computer. I actually got my write-rights back by using clear in recovery mode.



Hopefully, this answer can help others as well.
