EDIT: I found the fix. It was on the chinese forum. Whoever posted the fix had it right but the syntax is not correct so I had to remove spaces here and there. If you are having this problem here is the answer. Open evilvte and type this command exactly how you see it:

sudo touch ~/.Xauthority && sudo chown $LOGNAME ~/.Xauthority && chmod 775 ~/. Xauthority

I was able to install Mirage (image viewer) on the new firmware after I used this command.
It worked for me to just do touch .Xauthority in a terminal in the ~/user directory.
