What is the value of DISPLAY when you ssh into the system?
Is there code in .bash_profile or .bashrc (assuming bash shell is used)
that sets DISPLAY? If so that will break X11 forwarding.
The above IS the value of DISPLAY on the remote system (simply called "fedora", as that is the default).
There's nothing in bashrc/bash_profile that is changing any values.
I also recall reading something about fedora recently changing how X11 forwarding works? Do you perhaps know anything about that?
Perhaps it's related to X11Forwarding options in /etc/ssh somewhere?
In fact, it appears it's changed quite a bit over the years. Here's a comment from fedora35 about it being related to X11UseLocalhost:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora35-x11-forwarding/78722/2
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora35-x11-forwarding/78722/2
I also noticed that if I comment out X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/50-redhat.conf and restart sshd, the next time I login, it does indeed complain about "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0"
Thanks,
Alex
