Yeah, I'm not sure what's supposed to be going on here. I'd check /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote system and make sure that you have the line X11Forwarding yes ...in the remote system's sshd_config, because leaving that out will totally hork up any attempt to use ssh -X or -Y. Also: "ssh -v -Y remotehost", and the additional output you get from the -v may tell you "stupid error NNN has happened in X11 forwarding". I just tried this with xeyes, a GTK+ app, and gnome-terminal, but everything worked and I didn't get any stupid errors. >> sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot > Nope, did the fsck route yesterday. I think if it'd been filesystem problems, you would've noticed other weirdness before X forwarding problems. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
