Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu 17.10 Desktop 64 bit I am unable to start a gnome-session
on my local Ubuntu 17.04 Desktop inside a Xephyr server over SSH. This
is probably the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/gnome-session/+bug/1251281 but I don't see a fix for 17.10 and could
not add 17.10 to that bug report. When I try, I get:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
session/+bug/1251281/+distrotask
Setup:
local PC is 64 bit Ubuntu Desktop 17.04 - fully updated
remote PC is 64 bit Ubuntu Desktop 17.10 - fully updated
start Xephyr on local PC using:
~$ Xephyr :2 -screen 1280x900 &
set up DISPLAY
~$ export DISPLAY=:2
ssh to remote PC
~$ ssh -YC user@remote
now logged into remote - do a simple test:
~$ xeyes
I see the xeyes open on my local desktop inside the Xephyr window
success. Press CTRL-C in terminal to exit xeyes.
Try to start gnome-session on remote with:
~$ gnome-session --debug
I get the following on the console:
gnome-session-binary[17018]: DEBUG(+): Enabling debugging
gnome-session-binary[17018]: DEBUG(+): hardware acceleration check failed:
Child process exited with code 1
gnome-session-binary[17018]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child
process exited with code 1
gnome-session-binary[17018]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead.
Sorry....
I expected a non-accelerated gnome session to start inside the Xephyr
window. It does not.
