Re: Fail to connect from OSX to remote X-desktop?



Actually, the DISPLAY is not set at all.   Just a hunch -- you are using root as your user and Linux tends to be picky about remote access by X11.   I never do that, but there may indeed another setting that needs to be changed to permit this.

Then you are apparently overwritting DISPLAY in your login scripts on the remote machine since when logging in via SSH with X11-forwarding, the DISPLAY on the remote system should have been localhost:10 given what's in your remote sshd_config.

Is the remote sshd even set to accept X11 forwarding requests?

yes,

root@desktop> grep /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config
ForwardX11        yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes

root@kde_domu> grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding     yes
X11UseLocalhost   yes
X11DisplayOffset  10

unless there's something additional required.
