| Post subject: | x11 configuration |
I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but I have tried many permutations of the x11 settings that people recommend setting. my linode is a fresh debian 6 install + apt-get install eclipse apt-get install xorg apt-get install xauth apt-get install x11-apps $> echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 $> less /etc/ssh/sshd_config ... X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes PrintMotd no PrintLastLog yes TCPKeepAlive yes ... Client side, I have installed xming, on mouseover it reads Xming Server:0.0 and my putty settings are default except Connection>SSH>X11: enable x11 forwarding: checked X display location: 0:0 ------------------------------------------------------- $> xeyes Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 $> I sort of suspect the problem is in not initializing something something xauth. But I'm a total noob. help is (obviously) appreciated greatly! |

Are you ssh'ing directly to the user? Not through su? Otherwise you'll get authentication errors. Try a ssh -vvv and then run xeyes to see some more verbose information. |

I posted this concurrently on a lot of forums, and it is now solved. I am pretty sure the problem lay in Xming fonts, and the problem was that I did not have Xming fonts. It is stupid that this is a separate install. but it did fix my problem. |
