Hi All,



I had openFOAM7 installed on my Centos 7 machine. A few days ago I said yes to a Centos update.



Now when I try to run OF, I get a docker-related error:


docker: invalid spec: :/home/openfoam/.Xauthority: empty section between colons.



If you have any idea what might be causing this or how I can fix it, I sure would appreciate it.



I want to add that I would like to stick with OF7 because I use rhocentralfoam, so I dont want to update.



Thanks,
ET

Have you solved this issue? I met the same issue.

Unfortunately, my memory and understanding of how I got this fixed is not very clear. But I *think* that the solution was to open up space by deleting unnecessary files from where the affected area (the are named between colons, ":/home/openfoam/.Xauthority") was. For some reason dockers fill up my memory with things like crash logs that are not needed. I hope this may help.
