Hi all
When try to start a VM I get an error in the console where I started vmware from
saying "X11 connection refused because of wrong authentication".
Details:
Local Linux Box logs into remote Linux Server running vmware server.
My username is the same on both boxes.
local $ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]
remote$ vmware &
The graphical vmware starts up, I select to connect to "Local host" and click
Connect. The GUI runs fine locally now. I can select a VM from the Inventory on the
left and it displays the stats of the machines OK.
The problem is when try to start a VM I get an error in the console where I started
vmware from saying "X11 connection refused because of wrong authentication".
- On remote box I have /etc/ssh/sshd_config with X11Forwarding yes
- I'm using -X with ssh to connect.
- I have tried using xhost + on both the local (before ssh connection) and
remote machines (before starting vmware)
- The .Xauthority on the remove machine is rw for user and its ownership is
me:me.
- My local ssh-config has ForwardX11 yes
Googling says to check all of the above.
