Using 64-bit OpenSUSE 13.1 remotely, I ssh in from a Mavericks 10.9.1 Mac (XQuartz 2.7.5) and do:
jar@jarfx:~> su -
Password:
jarfx:~ # yast2 &
[1] 2753
This works. Then (the next morning) I made some ssl certificates, and tried to
edit the configuration:
jarfx:/etc/apache2 # nedit /etc/sysconfig/apache2 &
[2] 14842
jarfx:/etc/apache2 # NEdit: Can't open display
jarfx:/etc/apache2 # exit
logout
[1]+ Exit 127 yast2
jar@jarfx:~> xterm &
[1] 14922
jar@jarfx:~> xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
This happens all the time after a sufficient delay. Exiting su and redoing su -
does not fix it. I have to log out and start a new session.
