Lately I've been getting this MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE error. It only happens when I'm logged into my home amd64 box from my office x86 box. I use ssh -X ip.add.res.s to log in. Everything seems to work and save fine except for the error message and not being able to run an x-application remotely.
The first error occurs when I try to run an x-application remotely. $ jpilot Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key (jpilot:16276): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:11.0 The second error occurs after I exit a file from a text editor. $ vi file.txt Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key I've been doing this for years without any problems and this probably started in the last month or so. I've seen a few things on line, but nothing that looks right. I also don't want to run the xhost+ command. Any ideas? Thanks, --dhk
