The file permissions on .Xauthority must be 400 (read and write for user ONLY). Any other file permission will cause the xauth program to reject the file.
As a final measure you can try deleting the .Xauthority file altogether. The file will be recreated the next time you log in

After logging in run the following commands:
What do you get?
I do not copy all the output of
id. Too long.
Instead I've realized that /home is empty
I suggest copying my old /home to the new one. Am I right?

Yes, but I would first try to find out why your /home is empty. Are you mounting it properly? What is the output of
?

/proc on /proc type proc
/dev/nume0n1p4 on /home type ext4 (rw, noatime)

It's mounted all right. So, you probably accidentally nuked it? In any case, restore your backup and it should probably be OK.

Yes, probably. Shame on me
I did it (I restored the backup) and now it is fine. Not all, because I must install a lot of packages and configure them.
Some problems arise in the installation and the configuration. For the sake of the forum, I will ask for help in anothers topics.
Thanks again.
