Hi all, I understand there are many guides on XQuartz for Yosemite, of which I have gone through many of them. But unfortunately my problem persists. It all began after purchasing a brand new Mac inc. Yosemite. I do a lot of ssh X11Forwarding work from home, and now going from Snow Leppard all of a sudden I've got a bit of a stop-ship issue. ssh -X was throwing up the warning: /opt/X11/bin/xauth: file /Users/acnash/.Xauthority does not exist
So now I can't load remote applications from a HPC. I try loading X from the terminal and I get a dialog window saying to go and install XQuartz. So I do this. After this I check all of the usual directories and I note that there are symbolic links to XQuartz. Wonderful. But then I continue getting the same error when using ssh -X (and -Y). So now I simply try launching Xclock from my local terminal (my mac). Nothing happens. Xclock appears to be running (the command line does not return and top indicates the presence of the xclock process) but I get NO gui. In fact, looking at top I can see the XQuartz process sitting there too. The $DISPLAY is: /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.idm2Xw6J8h/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 I would really appreciate some help here. I'm a mathematical chemist not an IT guy, and this is causing some really issues with my work. I know that things should fall into place the moment I can get xclock visualised on my side.
