Unfortunately I still get the same error. I'll try to put together an
xauth command, but does anyone know what happened here? Usually you
just enable X11Forwarding and you can use it right?
Hi,
I seem to have missed a couple of posts in this thread.
Have you got xauth installed? When I set up a new machine recently
there was a missing dependency - I _think_ it was xauth. I installed a
base system + knode + mozilla. I never installed X11 explicitly, as I
never log into this machine locally, only use a couple of X11 apps
remotely (because those aren't available on my Mac). I'm not sure if
X11 itself was installed or only some X11~ish libraries, but there was
definitely a dependency missing as a result of the way I installed.
Unfortunately I didn't file a bug.
Secondly, when you ssh in, you need to use `ssh -Y hostname` in order
to enable ssh forwarding.
Hope these observations are not unhelpful,
Stroller.
