Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openssh-client
Version: openssh-client 1:5.1p1-ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) This is somewhat of a awkward setup, but used to work with older versions of Ubuntu. I work on a X-terminal that connects to my main workstation via XDMCP. Consequently, my $DISPLAY is: ::ffff:10.0.0.10:1.0 If I then ssh -X usern...@remotehost, and launch a X application (like gedit, for example) gedit will not open at my DISPLAY. Rather, gedit will open on the :1 display of the main workstation. I was wondering if ssh is getting confused by the ip6 address, but haven't found a way to force it to IP4 (I can change $DISPLAY by hand before launching ssh, but then my magic cookie is invalid) ** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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
