[SOLVED] Kubuntu 22.04 / Firefox and ssh

Wawa · 05-13-2022, 05:20 AM

Hello,

I use MobaXterm (22.0) on Windows 10 for connecting to my Kubuntu 22.04 machine via ssh.

Using MobaXTerm internal X server I can launch Thunderbird, Geany, Xeyes etc... without problem from MobaXTerm console.

The problem is with Firefox :

philippe@ludwig:~$ firefox
MoTTY X11 proxy: Unsupported authorisation protocol
Unable to init server: Type d’affichage Broadway non pris en charge*: localhost:10.0
Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0

At this moment I have not find any other X application that fail like Firefox...

Of course Firefox is working well in local mode.
With my previous Kubuntu installation (20.04) everything works well.

Any idea how to solve the problem ?

Regards.
Philippe

The command line "XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority /snap/bin/firefox" works well !

Thanks
