Remote Git vs. GNOME on CentOS 6.6: cannot open display

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

I just installed a fresh CentOS 6.6 desktop. It's a client's machine, it is physically installed on a testbench in my office. Usually, when I perform installations, I start with the base system on the testbench, and once networking is configured, I SSH into it and then do all the fine-tuning remotely.

My configuration files, scripts and HOWTOs are all stored in a Github repository. The problem I have with the default configuration of Git under CentOS is that GNOME "hijacks" Git's authentication process. Meaning whenever Git asks for credentials, this happens in a very ugly authentication window. But the real problem is in a remote session, where I can't use Git anymore. Here's what I get:

[root@optiplex-330 ~]# git clone https://kikinovak@xxxxxxxxxx/kikinovak/centos
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/centos/.git/

(gnome-ssh-askpass:2440): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Anyone knows how to stop this annoying behavior? I'm typing these lines on a Slackware64 14.1 + KDE installation, and when I use Git on this machine, credentials are always asked for in the terminal itself, not in a GUI popup.

Cheers,

Niki
