Hi,
I had been using Mac OS 10.6.5 X11 from Apple client on my
MacBook Pro with a Linux server forwarding the display to me for a
month now but this weekend suddenly this display forwarding stopped
working. At first I thought it was my workplace firewall blocking
me but I still could communicate via ssh and I could display
forward from another linux server. no problem
When I came in on Monday I still had the X11 not being able to
open the display from within the firewall so it is not a firewall
issue. I reinstalled X11 from Apple DVD and still the same thing. I
still can forward display to another client system no problem so I
know that it not the server having a issue. I finally download
XQuartz for Snow Leopard and installed it and after changing
ssh_config to "ForwardX11 yes" and "Host to the server I wished to
forward from" and rebooted and it now X11 display forwarding works
with XQuartz, however, X11 that comes with Apple still doesn't
forward the display for some unknown reason.
Any ideas why would X11 from Apple not accept display forwarding.
Thank you,
Frank
What is your Firewall setting in the Security System Preference?
10.6.5 is out only a week and did modify X11. I suspect that is when
it happened. You do need to apply the latest combo updater any time
you reinstall X11 or you are missing important security updates. If
you are sure when you updated to 10.6.5 and it corresponds with your
problem you should file a bug report with Apple.(If someone hasn't
solved the problem for you)
The firewall is off in System Preferences and I have latest Security
Update of Snow Leopard with release of 10.6.5 on November 10, 2010. I
was checking here before I sent a bug report to Apple. Again X11 with
Apple worked with display forwarding from another server for two days
before stopping over the weekend.
The last time I sent a bug report to them last year about X11 issue
with Apple for 10.5.11 they referred me to this list.
Thank you,
Frank
