Description of problem: X11 won't run to display graphical apps over ssh. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # uname -a Linux server.localdomain 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:54:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ yum list kdebase Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, kmdl, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages kdebase.i686 6:4.6.5-1.fc15 $ yum list openssh Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, kmdl, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages openssh.i686 5.6p1-34.fc15.1 Also dbus-x11.i686 1:1.4.6-5.fc15 How reproducible: Every time. It worked yesterday, but I can't find anything in yum.log related to KDE or X11. Steps to Reproduce: 1. ssh [-X] me@server | root@server 2. dolphin | konqueror (I am testing Samba, so its nice to be able to open those apps on the server) Actual results: $ dolphin unnamed app(1745): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. " unnamed app(1744): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. $ konsole unnamed app(1748): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. " unnamed app(1747): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. However, $ xterm xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set Not sure if that is a cause or effect. Expected results: Graphical apps should run on the client. Additional info: This is happening for all clients, for multiple servers. Both the clients and the servers worked yesterday. This bug is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699238. I posted my info there as well.
For some reason it works now. I'm sure I tested ssh -X me@server before and it failed. But now it works with ssh -X me@server. I'm closing it for now. I'll open it if it reappears.
