Oh, yes, and regarding this:
smithfarm@r400:~> ssh -X $USER@localhost Password: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
I'm groping in the dark here, but I tried setting X11UseLocalhost to "no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. According to 'man sshd_config' -- X11UseLocalhost Specifies whether sshd(8) should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to the wildcard address. By default, sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and sets the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to “localhost”. This prevents remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display. However, some older X11 clients may not function with this configuration. X11UseLocalhost may be set to “no” to specify that the forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard address. The argument must be “yes” or “no”. The default is “yes”. Which didn't help me much. Anyway, that got rid of the "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0" error, but in its place I now get: smithfarm@r400:~> ssh -X $USER@localhost Password: Last login: Fri Oct 26 16:18:25 2012 from localhost Have a lot of fun... /usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "r400:10.0" in "remove" command /usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):2: bad display name "r400:10.0" in "add" command Will keep reading, but I suspect I'm just going to have to wait for the dbus/Virtualbox issue to be resolved. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
