So, I just got access to a machine. When I ssh in, I can't throw x apps automatically.
Before you say it, the sshd config file on the remote machine has X11forwarding set to 'yes'.
I did notice that the display variable was not set properly. So, comparing
it to a machine that works (ur... the way I want) and a machine that
doesn't:
works: $ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0
doesn't: $ echo $DISPLAY :0
This is very strange. If X is not being tunneled, DISPLAY should not be set at all. Do you have something in one of the shell initialization files setting DISPLAY? That would be my guess.
You can also do "ssh -X" to explicitly enable X forwarding, but it doesn't sound like the problem is with ssh.
