Wayfarer247 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hey all. I recently set up a server with Ubuntu home edition installed and I'm loving it. However, as much fun as a terminal is, I kinda would like to see things. I am trying to get X (the GUI) over SSH to work. I have already gotten SSH working, but I can't seem to get X to actually move out. This is what I have tried (I am using Fedora9 (Gnome)): $ ssh user@IPAddresshere That gets me into my computer just fine. So now... to get going. $ssh -X -2 user@IPAddresshere (Sometimes I don't do -2) However, this doesn't get my very far. I get this immediately upon logon: "/usr/bin/X11/xauth: /home/epic/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored" Running an application gives me this error: user@epicness1-server:~$ xclock X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 And if I try and do this (As unsecure as it is): user@epifoot3-server:~$ xhost + X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. xhost: unable to open display "localhost:10.0" So, yeah... not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115093-need-help-getting-x-over-ssh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
