Am 16. Oct, 2012 schwätzte Dazed_75 so:
I used to regularly do ssh -X user@machine or ssh -Y user@machine so I
could run a graphical program on the remote machine and have the display on
the machine I was sitting at. In fact, I used to do this at installfests
from my laptop (lapdog2) to the headless PXE server (fogtest) right next to
me. That stopped working months ago and I have not been able to figure out
why or how to fix it. Here is a sample of what I get:
larry@hammerhead:~$ ssh -Y fogtest
Linux fogtest 2.6.32-41-generic-pae #91-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 13 12:00:09 UTC
2012 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
<snip>
echo $DISPLAY
Do you get something like localhost:10.0?
ciao,

larry@fogtest:~$ gedit
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes
are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale
NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to
connect to socket /tmp/dbus-sjFuIo1Vhr: Connection refused)
^C
larry@fogtest:~$
As you can see, the ssh connection is fine but using a graphical program
like gedit does not. So I was making another attempt today (different
target) and it worked:
larry@hammerhead:~$ ssh -Y sunfish

Anyone know where to look or how to fix fogtest?
