Good morning,
I'm consolidating a number of separate, physical servers onto a single Xen platform.
I have installed OpenSUSE 12.1 as the Xen Host, and, I can install & launch OpenSUSE 12.1 Xen Guests.
All of the Guests are accessible using SSH, and are generally functioning as servers as they're intended to.
So far, so good.
For one of the Guests, I need access to a root X11 application on it.
From what I've managed to read, I understand I can do that by "enabling X forwarding" on the Guest, opening an SSH session to the Guest, and executing the target application (e.g. 'xterm'), and if all goes well, the application's window should appear on (or is it "in"?) my local desktop.
Problem is, when I try that, I get the following error in the SSH console window:
"xterm Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s"
Seems you don't have X forwarding enabled. To enable, use the '-X' option when opening your ssh connection, e.g. ssh -X vm-hostname Regards, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
