What has to happen is, and forgive me if you know all of this, Mary, when you are working from the Ubuntu, be sure it is in "X mode" (some of us do run desktop Linuxen in "text mode") and have a shell presented in an ' xterm' window. (Other terminal windows should give the same effect: We need your X desktop available to other applications.) If there are any doubts, try an 'xterm' command manually and use the new window which pops up.
When you do the 'ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]' command, SSH client and server negotiate a tunnel so that X clients on the remote end get secured access to the desktop at your end. Here too, try a manual 'xterm' command before you run any other graphical apps on the target system. If you are successful at getting that final XTERM window from the remote system, then all other X apps should have the same level of access to your desktop. Launch the RH installer. (I am unfamiliar with it, but YaST2 is how we do it in SuSE land, following these same steps.)
