Hi all, I have an fc18 install and it seems that X11 forwarding over ssh has changed. I used to be able to just "ssh -Y root@remotehost" and be allowed to run programs to my display. However, now it seems this is no longer allowed: $ ssh -X root@mytest X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Does anyone know how to fix this? None of the previous methods, including exporting the Xauthority variable, seem to work. I'm specifically trying to run virt-manager and it fails with "RuntimeError: could not open display"
Have you checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and verified that you have X11Forwarding yes set in there? If not, set it and restart sshd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
