I am trying to start the GUI /usr/sbin/smc over SSH. But I get error:
"It appears you are attempting to run the graphical Solaris Management
Console from a terminal which does
not have a suitable 'DISPLAY' environment. Please check your 'DISPLAY'
settings and that the user identity of this terminal has access to the
X server of this display."
I am doing ssh -X usern...@server and then "su" to become root and
type: smc
On the server's sshd_config I have:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
On the client's sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
hi Chris,
you can try setting in the client's /etc/ssh_config (the ssh client
config file) the following:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
then try running ssh without the -X option:
$ ssh -l myuser remoteserver
don't "su" immediately and try to list the DISPLAY environment variable:
$ env | grep DISPLAY
do you see the DISPLAY variable set to some value ? if you do try
running:
$ /usr/openwin/bin/xclock
do you see the clock ?
hope this helps,
greetings,
Stoyan
