to solve the X forwarding problem i googled a lot as i wanted to install Oracle 11g on my kubuntu 9.10 machine
i found out the solution that did work To resolve this problem, you have to let X server listen on tcp port modify file /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc You will see “ServerArgsLocal=-br -nolisten tcp” Change that line to “ServerArgsLocal=-br” or comment the line as follows: # ServerArgsLocal=-br -nolisten tcp Restart X server (/etc/init.d/kdm restart or CTRL+ALT+backspace or restart OS) Now you can run remote X application on your X server. testing disable access control of your x server use following command: $xhost + (you can disable access control for specific ip address with $xhost + ip_address) $ssh u...@remote_pc $export DISPLAY=your_ip_address:0 $xclock annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddd its done :) ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed -- Warning: Unable to open display ':0' and cannot connect to X server :0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250712 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
