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.
