First I am logging in as user 1000, aka pi on the pi and rock64 on the rock64. Root logins are disallowed. I can sudo later, but can't run anything that needs x, getting the can't open display :11 or some such twaddle error. And I've no clue if ts this wheezy machine, or that jessie or stretch machine reporting the error I see on my konsole here on wheezy. copy/paste quote: gene@coyote:~$ ssh -Y rock64@rock64 rock64@rock64's password: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Whoever is responsible for that, needs to meet a Louisville Slugger just above the ear. I can run any x app, from wheezy on x86 to wheezy on x86, but wheezy to jessie on the pi is locked out, and wheezy to stretch on the rock64 is locked out as you can see above. 3 usernames, all user 1000, but that apparently doesn't mean squat to X, identical user numbers notwithstanding. That means I must go to that machines keyboard to do anything that needs X. And that means standing up, and my 83 yo back is killing me in 10 minutes. So it should be understandable that its a very sore point to me. With dd-wrt's sharp teeth being the gateway to the internet, security is the last concern, no one not given the login credentials has been able to get in, in at least 15 years. The local net is mine and I am the only user, so why the hell can't I do what I need to do from a comfy chair? Good question that. If you know how to fix it, please share. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
