 |
|
I have two PCs: 'frodo' and 'gandalf'. Frodo is running an openssh server, and Gandalf can open a session on Frodo. This works fine.
The problem comes whenever I want to start an X session.
In Frodo (server):
| Code: |
root@frodo# cat /etc/ssh_config | grep X11
ForwardX11 yes
root@frodo# cat /etc/sshd_config | grep X11
X11Forwarding yes
root@frodo# echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
|
In Gandalf (client):
| Code: |
martinp@gandalf$ echo $DISPLAY
gandalf.arda.lan:0.0
martinp@gandalf$ ssh -X frodo
Enter passphrase for key '/home/martinp/.ssh/id_rsa':
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
martinp@frodo$ xterm
connect gandalf.arda.lan port 6000: Connection refused
X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
martinp@frodo$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

I think it's getting screwed up because of the display setting on the client side before doing the ssh. Your DISPLAY on the client before doing the ssh should probably be :0. Make sure you can actually run X apps on the client side with the settings as is before doing the ssh.
