Is an X server running on the failing machine? Is X running on display 0? Try to figure out which user is logged in, tell them what you're doing, and use -auth /home/<user>/.Xauthority
instead of
-auth guess
Thanks for quick reply, but I am having idling suse machines and there is nobody logged in but standard graphic mode booted up, runlevel5 i guess back in the old days and there is some kde or sddm or what it is called these days logon window. Bascially my machines are kinda very similar or same but they are not new installs of fresh leap 42.2 so there is probably cruft or leftovers or migration stuff. If there is a graphical pixels visible when I visit the machines, and there is that kde login window showing with some local usernames existing on the machine, that means there is some x server running on :0 doesnt it? I have not very much dealt with all these layers and stuff that builds on top of each other in the unix and linux world. It seems quite complicated or grown in the unix world and how it all interacts and fits together. How can I find out more about why it is failing? As I said, there is no user being logged in at the other machine either, all I do is ssh into it, and then fire up that command. I want to grab the real pixels that show there, as if I would walk over physically to the machine itself. That is the task I am trying to achieve. And it never worked on this failing machine. I never figured out why so far. TY. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
