Re: How do I start a X session on another machine

Hi,

* Andrew Lindley <aml47@ntlworld.com> [02-10-13 10:20]:
I went for option 2  - ssh. I can ssh between the 2 hosts but the
$DISPLAY variable does not get set on the server machine. I have
ssh_config on both sides defaulting to ForwardX11=yes and can see the
x11_get_proto line if I give ssh the -vv option. So I have a situation
where I can ssh for command line but no X support.

The entry in ssh_config is meant to replace ssh's -X option? Does the
server offer X11?

Anthing to learn from 'ssh -v' (or 'ssh -v -X')? What do the X
applications say?

# Please see the manual for a complete list
# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
# configuration file.

# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are

# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the receiver_unqualified_{hosts,nets} options if you want
# to permit unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is
# not set, the primary_hostname value is used for qualification.

qualify_domain = leny.co.uk

# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different # domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
# If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.

# qualify_recipient =

# Specify your local domains as a colon-separated list here. If this option
# is not set (i.e. not mentioned in the configuration file), the
# qualify_recipient value is used as the only local domain. If you do not want # to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply # any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not # the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there # are no local domains; not setting it at all causes the default value (the
# setting of qualify_recipient) to be used.

local_domains = localhost:gate.leny.co.uk

# Allow mail addressed to our hostname, or to our IP address.

local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true

# Domains we relay for; that is domains that aren't considered local but we
# accept mail for them.

#relay_domains =

# If this is uncommented, we accept and relay mail for all domains we are
# in the DNS as an MX for.

#relay_domains_include_local_mx = true

# No local deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon- # separated list). An attempt to do so gets changed so that it runs under the # uid of "nobody" instead. This is a paranoic safety catch. Note the default
# setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root as if it were a
# normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias for
# root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

never_users = root

# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
# IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
# expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or
# remove the setting entirely.

#host_lookup = *

# The setting below would, if uncommented, cause Exim to check the syntax of # all the headers that are supposed to contain email addresses (To:, From:,
# etc). This reduces the level of bounced bounces considerably.

# headers_check_syntax

# Exim contains support for the Realtime Blocking List (RBL), and the many
# similar services that are being maintained as part of the DNS. See
# http://www.mail-abuse.org/ for background. The line below, if uncommented,
# will reject mail from hosts in the RBL, and add warning headers to mail
# from hosts in a list of dynamic-IP dialups. Note that MAPS may charge
# for this service.

#rbl_domains = rbl.mail-abuse.org/reject : dialups.mail-abuse.org/warn

# http://www.rfc-ignorant.org is another interesting site with a number of
# services you can use with the rbl_domains option

# The setting below allows your host to be used as a mail relay by only
# the hosts in the specified networks. See the section of the manual
# entitled "Control of relaying" for more info.

The following is a snippet of the ssh log that resulted from a
ssh -vv -X gate
where gate is the server. It is from where gate authenticates the caller
to where the command line is available. There are some earlier debug
entries which indicate that it uses the ssh_config and ~/.ssh/config
entries for gate.

The moans that come from X apps are as follows

andlin@gate:~$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
andlin@gate:~$ kmail
Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set.
ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpected.
andlin@gate:~$ echo .${DISPLAY}.
..
andlin@gate:~$

I'm not entirely certain what you mean by does the server offer X11.
It certainly has X11 installed and running on it, I can
X :1 -indirect gate
and get the chooser. (Thank you Ramin.)

TIA - Andrew
