Re: [gentoo-user] Error when running ethereal through ssh tunneled X11

[Chris Prior]

Try using ssh -Y instead of ssh -X.
(or set trusted forwarding in ssh_config)

Hrm. That did it. I'm curious, can you tell me a bit more than th eman
page about what -Y is? It basically says it's trusted, but doesn't go
any further.

Thank you!

 When I ssh into one of my servers, using X11 tunneling, then su - to

 # ethereal
 The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error.
 This probably reflects a bug in the program.
 The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
   (Details: serial 128 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
 function.)

Sometimes ssh -Y instead of ssh -X will work better.
