RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The reproduction instructions seem to be incomplete, can you please provide clear step by step reproduction instructions for your problem, and also include any error messages and the expected result.

Here are the detailed steps:

1. Built a server with rhel 7.0.

Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2016-02-12 18:59:37 UTC 
I still need better reproduction instructions. Please describe step by step what you are doing, without skipping any steps, here is an incomplete list of unanswered questions:

1) How are you logging in to the system?
2) Are you using xhost to change permissions?
3) If you are using xhost to change permissions, then I take it that you are using 2 sessions, one where you are using xhost to open things u[ and another where you are starting a program ?
4) Please provide a list of the all commanfs you enter in both sessions starting with how you log in to both session?
4) Why did you need to manually set "export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0" back when things were still working  ?
(normally DISPLAY will get set correctly automatically)
5) How is "/etc/ssh/sshd_config X11Forwarding yes" relevant to your case ?
6) If you're using ssh forwarding why are you also using "xhost" to set permissions ?
7) etc.
