There is the ForwardX11Timeout setting (see 'man ssh_config'), but that can't be the explanation for what you are seeing, as that doesn't apply with 'ssh -Y' The host is any Win32 or Win64, and the client is Ubuntu... If you are saying that it doesn't work from any cygwin machine, connecting to one particular ubuntu server, that should be a pointer that something has changed on the ubuntu server. I also tried manually setting the DISPLAY environmental variable... If you are setting DISPLAY to point directly at your Cygwin/X server, you will need to permit access from the remote host, as described in the 'insecure telnet' section of [1]. Protip: don't do this, it's insecure :-) On 19/03/2011 15:31, Phlip wrote: kate: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0 Have you tried ssh -Y instead of -X ? Nope; just tried it, and it didn't work, with the same symptom. You might find adding '-v' to your ssh command for extra verbosity sheds some light on what's going on. The source is always a CygWin xterm with a little bash inside. Got a log file I can look at? I think you have that backwards.

Bump? Should I try a noisier forum, or one for a different layer of the system?
