Setup: * remote [email protected] (x-client) * local 192.168.1.65 with X-server running Steps: 1) ssh into a remote system - ssh -p 669 [email protected] 2) xhost + 192.168.1.22 # from local machine .65 3) export DISPLAY=192.168.1.65; xterm -sb & Output: surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.65 surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ xterm -sb & [1] 7050 surfrock66@sr66-blade:~$ xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.65 These systems are on the same subnet connected to the SAME, unmanaged, switch. No firewalls enabled on either the client or server. Seems, according to the suggestion in that thread, that it's an X11 bug. I will mark it as such. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463263 Title: ssh-based X11 forwarding not working in 15.04 following upgrade from 14.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1463263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
