Hi all,
I have an fc18 install and it seems that X11 forwarding over ssh has
changed. I used to be able to just "ssh -Y root@remotehost" and be
allowed to run programs to my display. However, now it seems this is
no longer allowed:
$ ssh -X root@mytest
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
Does anyone know how to fix this? None of the previous methods,
including exporting the Xauthority variable, seem to work.
I'm specifically trying to run virt-manager and it fails with
"RuntimeError: could not open display"
Have you checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and verified that you have
X11Forwarding yes
set in there? If not, set it and restart sshd.
