Hi
I'm been trying to install an xvm instance on a remote system, but I
keep running into variations on 'unable to open display'
I've tried to use ssh -X but I've not been able to get it to forward
when su'd to root.
1) ssh -X -l xadmin virtbox
running cload etc works fine.
2a
i. su -
ii. cp .Xauthority ~xadmin/.Xauthority
iii. setenv DISPLAY localhost:10
iv. xload
Fails:
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
2b
i. sudo su -
ii. xload
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
2c
i. su -
ii. setenv DISPLAY laptop:0
iii. xload
Error: Can't open display: laptop:0
('xhost +' had been run on the laptop)
Any ideas of where I might find an explanation or hint to how to fix this.
When I run the virt-install as root then I can't connect to the
'localhost:5900' as xadmin.
