Problems with DISPLAY and X
Hi,
I got the old problem with authentication, X-forwarding, setting Display and
so on...
what I tried:
first, I exchanged my ssh public keys (dsa) on both pcs, just to be sure (I
did it by scp and ssh, but there was a one-line-command to do that, can
someone tell me?)
when I call xterm with set DISPLAY. I only get an error "Could not open
display", but I dont know how to get more informations. On the destination I
did a xhost +, not the best way, but...
Second, I tried it with ssh -X <ip> xterm. This seems to be better at first
look, it accepts the public key, but then again I get the error "Cant open
display".
Third I played around with xauth, took my key with xauth list and put it in on
the other side with xauth add with the complete line. Is there something
wrong to do it this way?
The only thing I want is to read my mail on a second screen :-( Maybe I should
bringup nfs and start kmail on the other side? A little bit overpowered...
