Thanks everyone, but I still get the same error. On the client I added to /etc/ssh/ssh_config: Host * ForwardAgent yes ForwardX11 yes and I deleted ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority. On the server I added to /etc/ssh/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes and restarted sshd. I get: $ ssh -Y 192.168.10.1 The authenticity of host '192.168.10.1 (192.168.10.1)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/grant/.ssh/known_hosts). Password: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
