I have been trying to install x11vnc and then use ssh tunnels to

connect to, one Ubuntu and one is an Apple iBook running Xubuntu.
1 I have no problem with either machine NOT using ssh
2 using ssh: ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 remote_name 'x11vnc
-localhost -display :0'
Works great with the Ubuntu machine
Does not work with the Xubuntu machine (vncviewer
localhost:0 appears to connect, but there is no display)
I presume it must be some setting in ssh, but I can't see any
difference.
Can anyone help?
Try using the verbose flag to ssh and/or x11vnc, and compare the two
machines.
Hmm. I can't do a simple X forwarding to the Xubuntu machine.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -v -X misty emacs

emacs: standard input is not a tty
I think the original problem lies elsewhere - that's an expected
error, see the SSH manpage regarding tty / pty allocation and the -t
option.
