[SOLVED] There seems to have some problem with .Xauthority file

Hey there, I recently reinstalled my artix-openrc system and it seems to have some problem running Xorg. I think the main problem is with .Xauthority file. When first time I installed the Xorg, compiled the dwm and started dwm with xinitrc it seems to have a error it was like

Authorization required but no authorization protocol specified.

but it started then after sometimes dmenu didn't worked but I had a terminal open when I tried to lauch firefox it had the same error

Authorization required but no authorization protocol specified. Can't open display

I belive it has something to do with .Xauthority file and search the internet for it . But nothing worked, I had similar issue with previous installation.

Also it fixes when I kill xorg but my hostname resets to artix linux.

Hey there its fixed now it was due to hostnamectl because by default connman change the transient the hostname on per network basis and I just have to edit

/etc/connman/main.conf
and add the following
Code: [Select]
[General]
AllowHostnameUpdates=false

PS : I am understanding how to write forum in professnal way and sorry for any mistake
