Hi,

since yesterday I have a weird problem. I cannot display VirtualBox
_guest_ consoles remotely anymore (the GUI for configuration works).

I am running Virtualbox headless on a server but use the GUI for installs
when needed. I forward ssh (-X) and use "su -m" to keep the DISPLAY
environment variable(DISPLAY=localhost:10.0) and xauth.

Two weeks ago I did just that,

1. started "VirtualBox",
2. created a VM and a disk,
3. attached an ISO disk
4. pressed start and the "BIOS" appeared

Yesterday it all goes up to step 3- just 4 does not work. I get an error
instead of the BIOS screen, and on the server I get:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

I checked all variables and parts - nothing has changed since the last
install that worked a fortnight ago.

Same kernel, same VirtualBox, same xauth, same desktop.

The server is a recent FreeBSD 10, the desktop Oracle Linux 6.5.

Do you have any ideas what could go wrong?

Thanks for ideas
Peter
