Greetings everyone; For the past decade and change, when I wanted to do a poweroff code test/preview, I have been able to open an sss -Y machinename session and start a graphical heavy program with all the X stuff sent back to this big iron machine with a nice comfy chair in front of the keyboard.
But I updated this machine to wheezy, debian 7.8, a couple months back and hadn't had a good excuse to do that, although I had been able to run a session of update-manager by that means. I just tested that again, it works from the shop machine which is based on the ubuntu 10.04-4 LTS install, but not from the lathes machine which has a new install on it that is, with the exception of a pinned kernel, pretty much straight wheezy and updated daily. The error I get when I attempt to run via this ssh -Y machinename link, a session of update-manager is: gene@lathe:/lib/firmware$ sudo update-manager [sudo] password for gene: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
