Thanks for the workaround instructions. A little cumbersome, but easy enough for the rare times I need this function. -- ssh client does not forward X11 to local user's networked DISPLAY https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As an added note to anyone trying to replicate this, for the application to actually open on the "main workstation" computer, that the same VT as used by the terminal (:1 in my example, but can be :0, or anything) must be open on the ssh application client pc (main workstation, in this example) and logged in as the same user. Otherwise, you only get various confusing errors, (either a message about /tmp/.X11-unix/X? file being missing, or Magic cookie failure if not logged in.) -- ssh client does not forward X11 to local user's networked DISPLAY https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
