ssh X11Forwarding Gtk-WARNING **: 22:56:39.694: cannot open display: 10.255.255.202:0












0














I have an Ubuntu server on the local net I can ssh to an run say gedit. It works just fine.



And a remote Red Hat 7 through a VPN connection which fails.
I connect with the command:



ssh -X -o ForwardX11=yes -o ForwardX11Trusted=yes rhsrv


and then I get the fail:



$ gedit 
(gedit:3085): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:13:00.902: cannot open display: 10.255.255.202:0


To verify I run a few commands:



# is DISPLAY set?
$ echo $DISPLAY
10.255.255.202:0

# Exists the .Xauthority ?
$ strings ~/.Xauthority
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1

$ xauth list
rhsrv:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 43f5b66044bf4645cde63c22213a0c28

$ xauth info
Authority file: /home/joe/.Xauthority
File new: no
File locked: no
Number of entries: 1
Changes honored: yes
Changes made: no
Current input: (argv):1

# Is route back to client pc open? yes:
$ ssh 10.255.255.202 22
joe@10.255.255.202's password:

# IPv6 problems? no:
$ sudo egrep "^(X|Ad)" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
AddressFamily inet
X11Forwarding yes
X11UseLocalhost no

$ rpm -qa | grep x11
xorg-x11-apps-7.7-7.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-font-utils-7.5-21.el7.x86_64
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.5-9.el7.noarch
xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.9-1.el7.x86_64


I have tried to rm ~/.Xauthority to get a fresh file with no luck.



I have tried ssh -Y without luck.



After changing /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have run:



# systemctl reload sshd
# systemctl restart sshd
# cat /var/run/sshd.pid | xargs kill -1


On the client pc I ran a verbose task ssh -vv and looked in the output rhsrv file for clues but it looks jolly good:



$ egrep "(Req|[Xx]11)" rhsrv
debug1: Requesting no-more-sessions@openssh.com
debug2: x11_get_proto: /usr/bin/xauth list :0 2>/dev/null
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug2: channel 0: request x11-req confirm 1
debug1: Requesting authentication agent forwarding.
debug2: X11 forwarding request accepted on channel 0


Is there any logfile or something I have missed to look for?



Any help much appreciated!
