My workstation is Fedora 23, with the latest updates.
I have also several virtual machines with Fedora23 and Centos 5/6/7.
When I log in Fedora via ssh and try to run firefox from Fedora, there
is no activity, it just stays and no export is coming on my screen.
When I log in this machine via Windows (putty + xming), the export is
fine. I have no problems with the export of lets say wireshark/xclock.
The machine is with the latest firefox/kernel
Try 'firefox --no-remote' — otherwise, it will try to communicate with
any already-running firefox on your _local_ system ("remote" being a
kind of weird term for this).
This smells like X isn't being forwarded.
Todor, ssh to the machine and type in "echo $DISPLAY". You should see
something like "localhost:10.0". If you don't then you aren't
forwarding the display and firefox won't work.
On the remote machine (the one you're using ssh to contact), check the
/etc/ssh/sshd_conf file and verify you have
X11Forwarding yes
set in that file. If not, put in the line and do
sudo systemctl restart sshd
Log out and ssh back to it. Try the "echo $DISPLAY" again. If you see
something like "localhost:10.0", then try firefox again and the display
SHOULD show up on your local machine.
If you DON'T see the "localhost:10.0" thing, then log out again and
log in but use "ssh -X remotehostname" (where "remotehostname" is the
name of the machine you're trying to ssh to) to try normal X
forwarding. Try the "echo $DISPLAY" again. If you still don't get it,
log out and try "ssh -Y remotehostname" and repeat the echo command.
Some combination of that should get the DISPLAY environment variable
set.
