i would appreciate some help getting the above to work, i wish to use my main
box -mycroft, to run progs on another box -watson and display them on mycroft,
on watson sshd_config has this bit:
----snip-----
X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
#PrintMotd yes
#PrintLastLog yes
#KeepAlive yes
#UseLogin no
-----snip-------
for what it's worth ssh_config has:
---snip
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
Cipher blowfish
Protocol 2,1
StrictHostKeyChecking no
---snip----
i start a konsole in kde on mycroft and ssh into watson with:
$ssh -X watson
i pass the pass and run startx
i get:
[bascule at watson ssh]$ startx
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[bascule at watson ssh]$
so, what am i missing?
