Problems forwarding X with ssh
Hi guys.
I want to ask you about a "problem" I'm having. I have found a workaround for it but I'm not able to realize what's producing this strange effect. I'm using a laptop with a vanilla Slackware 12.0 to connect to a Solaris Ex. Dev. Ed. 9/07 via ssh (openssh-4.6p1). Both of these work perfectly: Code:
$ ssh -Y host Code:
$ ssh host Code:
export DISPLAY=mylaptop:myscreen Code:
$ ssh -X host Is anyone able to explain me what's the problem with ssh -X compared to ssh -Y? Thanks, Enrico. |
Just an idea: Try enabling your logging and see if that reveals anything 'ssh -vvv'

Thanks mjmwired.
Trying ssh verbose mode, I realized that the only affected programs are Java programs! It seems as something prevents Java programs to display properly. Just an idea: can "Java bridge for GNOME" be the guilty? I'm running KDE in my slackware box. Bye, Enrico. |

Thanks for confirming that, Brian.
It would have made little sense to me, though: why should it work with ssh -Y and not with ssh -X. I don't know, I would like to try with another version of Solaris (maybe 10rev4) but I can't do that now. Bye, Enrico. |
