Yes, I just installed F27 on a VM and see that X11Forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and ForwardX11Trusted is enabled in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/05-redhat.conf as well, so I guess that isn't it. As I mentioned before, do "echo $DISPLAY" after logging in and verify the variable is set (something like "localhost:10.0") to see if it's set. Another poster said that perhaps X11 forwarding doesn't work under Wayland. I don't use Wayland myself so I can't verify it. Accessing my VM from my desktop (prophead) does work: [rick@prophead ~]$ ssh rick@192.168.122.107 rick@192.168.122.107's password: Last login: Wed Nov 15 13:08:37 2017 [rick@fedora27-virt ~]$ echo $DISPLAY [rick@fedora27-virt ~]$ exit logout Connection to 192.168.122.107 closed. [rick@prophead ~]$ ssh -X rick@192.168.122.107 rick@192.168.122.107's password: Last login: Wed Nov 15 13:16:26 2017 from 192.168.122.1 /usr/bin/xauth: file /home/rick/.Xauthority does not exist [rick@fedora27-virt ~]$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 At that point, I could run "galculator" and the display showed up locally on prophead. Note the F27 VM is NOT running Wayland: [rick@fedora27-virt ~]$ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 2 1000 rick seat0 6 1000 rick 2 sessions listed. [rick@fedora27-virt ~]$ loginctl show-session 2 ... Type=x11 <<<<<<<---------- Using X11, not Wayland ...
