it not enough delete .iceauthority file. need create new blank file, , set correct permissions. example
code:
cd /home/kevin  sudo touch .iceauthority # creates blank file name .iceauthority  sudo chown kevin:kevin .iceauthority # makes "kevin" owner of file  sudo chmod 600 .iceauthority # sets permissions "-rw-------" (read/write access owner only)
you don't need use sudo if in recovery console or if logged in kevin on virtual terminal (eg ctrl+alt+f1..f3).

please post results.
