Package: gnome2 Version: gnome2 or gdm3 Severity: wishlist
-- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash The default flag "DisallowTCP=true" of gdm3 or gnome-desktop-environment makes impossible to do remote X client through ssh -X. ssh -X penguin@192.168.1.100 login in the server. Any Xorg that uses DISPLAY values will complain "Can't open display." There is no error between sshd and ssh. The problem exists in gnome2 client side. Because gnome2 doesn't send TCP/IP data related to Xorg of the client, the client can not execute Xorg programs in X server. Detail information is on the link. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=68319 It needs to be informed to gnome2 or ssh users somehow to prevent unnecessary time for troubleshooting this error. Technically, I don't think it's not a bug. gnome2 and ssh, sshd are doing exactly what they suppose to do based on the configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
