Forgot to mention the loopback address is properly configured on my box: $ ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:139234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:139234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:6975042 (6.9 MB) TX bytes:6975042 (6.9 MB)
I found some links on Google related to the "Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket" error on Solaris machines and they were all related to missing IP configuration on the loopbak interface. So clearly this is not the cause here... -- X11 forwarding via SSH does not work after upgrade to karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
