[GNC] X Forwarding starts session on remote machine?
Hi, I came home and logged in to my main machine (discus) again, directly on the console. Now, when I ssh in from my laptop (pleco) with -X and start GNUCash, it starts on the my main machine's X server. e.g. aclark@pleco 0 ~ $ ssh discus -X -v OpenSSH_7.9p1 Debian-4, OpenSSL 1.1.1a 20 Nov 2018 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/aclark/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to discus.ajfclark.com [192.168.1.4] port 22. debug1: Connection established.

I wasn't aware that running Wayland made some applications ignore the $DISPLAY setting.

IIUC Wayland has its own display variable, $WAYLAND_DISPLAY. Apparently Gtk doesn't have a good way of determining what backend to use, or maybe it prefers to run on Wayland if it finds it even the particular login session is X11. You could try exporting GDK_BACKEND=x11 in your remote session before starting any Gtk programs.

Re: [GNC] X Forwarding starts session on remote machine?
WAYLAND_DISPLAY isn't set: aclark@discus 0 ~ $ env | grep DISPLAY DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 aclark@discus 0 ~ $ env | grep WAY aclark@discus 0 ~ $ env | grep GTK aclark@discus 0 ~ $ Which is why I was confused as to how it was finding the wayland server. Setting GTK_BACKEND=x11 does work though.
