Re: XQuartz problem - Remote application not displayed on Sierra 10.12.4 - remote X11

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 19:03:13 -0700

All,
      I too think there is something weird about remote X11 on current Xquartz.
It does work for my for a remote Linux, but not a remote OSX. Does anyone else
have luck with remote X11 to another mac?
For example

% ssh -Yvvv user@OSXmachine
 produces....
....
debug2: x11_get_proto: /opt/X11/bin/xauth  list :0 2>/dev/null
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 1

debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0
...
debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 1
....
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

And then no X forwarding will work.
I have googled a fair bit already.
Any wisdom welcome?

Cheers
       James.

Hi,

After successful installation of latest 2.7.11 XQuartz and logout - tried shutdown as well. Lunched a terminal and logon using command:

ssh -Y remotehost

this was successful.

Then started on remote machine the application that i need to be displayed on my Mac but it was never displayed and i did not get any error message as well.

output of DISPLAY on local machine:
mcc022284:~ szt$ echo $DISPLAY
/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.uC42OSN11J/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

output of DISPLAY on remote machine:
root@remote_machine:~# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

XQuartz is started on my MAC:
mcc022284:~ szt$ launchctl list | grep xquartz
483	0	org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.14380
490	0	org.macosforge.xquartz.startx

Please help sorting out the reason for this.

Thanks and best regards,
Tibor

P.S.
Also attaching the SSH and SSHD conf files.
