Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openssh-client
Version: openssh-client 1:5.1p1-ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)
This is somewhat of a awkward setup, but used to work with older
versions of Ubuntu.
I work on a X-terminal that connects to my main workstation via XDMCP.
Consequently, my $DISPLAY is:
::ffff:10.0.0.10:1.0
If I then ssh -X usern...@remotehost, and launch a X application (like gedit,
for example)
gedit will not open at my DISPLAY. Rather, gedit will open on the :1 display
of the main workstation.
I was wondering if ssh is getting confused by the ip6 address, but
haven't found a way to force it to IP4 (I can change $DISPLAY by hand
before launching ssh, but then my magic cookie is invalid)
