VNC and .Xauthority issues with error Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified

My .Xauthority got deleted and nothing i try can generate another one because of this error.
So, now vncserver on that box wont work either because of this auth error.

Any help setting my .Xauthority back and fixing the VNC is appreciated.
Thanks!

I am on newest Tumbleweed…

The cookie may be located elsewhere. If you can find it, you can use xauth merge file

Check with:
echo $XAUTHORITY
ps w -C Xorg.bin

ok getting closer.
echo returned nothing but other command did this:

Blockquote ps w -C Xorg.bin
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
980 tty7 Ssl+ 0:02 /usr/bin/Xorg.bin :0 -seat seat0 -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch

quick edit. all i am trying to do is mirror the current session thats running on :0 with vnc.
vnc works perfectly if i create a new session :1 but wont connect to :clock1:
