Hi, I have two boxes, one with X (black) and one without (rock). I want to run an X Application on rock, but always get the message that it is not possible to connect to the remote xserver.
What I do is the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -X rock The authenticity of host 'rock (192.168.0.1)' can't be established. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Linux rock 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux [..] abbreviated [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $DISPLAY [ void - just one blank line ] From what I got from my googling. The DISPLAY variable should have been set, shouldn't it? At least I am sure I read that one shouldn't set it by hand... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xterm xterm Xt error: Can't open display: Hmmh?! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ DISPLAY=black:0.0 xterm Xlib: connection to "black:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified xterm Xt error: Can't open display: black:0.0 So, my X-Server on black is refusing to talk .... On black kdm.log says this: AUDIT: Sat Sep 6 17:15:28 2003: 304 X: client 20 rejected from IP 192.168.0.1 port 32794 192.168.0.1 is the ip of rock. If I run xterm locally, but with explicit IP it works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ DISPLAY=black:0.0 xterm Besides that I have another thing with SSH bugging me. Maybe these issues are related? When I try to copy something with scp from rock to black, like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scp foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: executing /etc/bash.bashrc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ I just get the message that /etc/bash.bashrc has been executed, which is just some debug message for me that this file bas been executed on rock. Btw. I am running unstable. I am also wondering why I have ssh and ssh2 on my machine. Can I remove one of them? How? apt-get remove ssh? I am a bit lost and don't understand it. Any ideas?
