 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

 echo $DISPLAY

Do you get something like localhost:10.0?

ciao,

Yes, both on the machine that works (sunfish) and the one that does not
(fogtest).


OK, we might have to debug the gconf stuff :).

Before that, try starting a non-GNOME app such as xterm or xeyes.


Aaah, both work on both machines.  Not sure what to do from there.

 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/ <http://projects.gnome.org/**gconf/><http://projects.gnome.**
org/gconf/ <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)


ls -ld /tmp/dbus-*

Wonder if it's trying to use the wrong socket. There might be a stale
socket since you're running headless, but boot should fix that by cleaning
out /tmp. Does fogtest get shutdown or do you hibernate it?

The obvious solution is you need to start using vim :).

 ^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?
