How are those options different from him using
ssh -X -Y -p xxxx remote_host sudo yast2 or ssh -X -Y -p xxxx root@remote_host yast2 & yast2 --qt &
I.e. does 'sudo' not work (the 1st case), or does logging in _as_root_ (2nd case) and then running the X-app, not work any more?
The issue is the Applicaion doesn't display on the computer I'm ssh-ing in from. I have never had a problem since SUSU/OpenSUSE 8.X I can't remember. I have let the connection wait 2 hours and still nothing is displaying. I was doing it without any problems on Leap 42.1. I would see qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin and then yast2 would be displayed on my computer using 42.1. The DISPLAY has to be set properly or yast2 --gtk & would not come up. or chromium. I still using the same Desktop just the newer version. I believe I'm using KDE/Plasma. Just doesn't make sense that some Applications like chromium or libreoffice don't have a problem. I use firefox, seamonkey and yast2 a lot and to suddenly have them not working/displaying on my Desktop is really frustrating. What doesn't make sense is any remote Linux system doesn't display seamonkey or firefox. RH, Centos, OpenSUSE any version. OpenSUSE yast2 from 13.2-Leap 42.2. All don't ever come up with a DISPLAY. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
