I have a fresh install of Gutsy with fixed IP address and the above symptoms.
What happens? sshd tries to bind forwarded X connection to 127.0.0.1:601*. The binding process fails because there is no IP address 127.0.0.1 available. When investigating matter, I found out that my loopback (lo) interface did not have any IP address. So, what ip addr show lo says? It looks like the /etc/network/interfaces misses iface lo stanza in default install (but it is there in the upgraded installations). Perhaps problem is because NetworkManager fails to set "lo" up? -- no longer honors X11 forwarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
