http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982516 Bug ID: 982516 Summary: openssh complains about an unset $DISPLAY Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: pvh@oma.be QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0 Build Identifier: After upgrading to the latest OpenSSH, if you have a configuration that enables X forwarding in general but your current session does not have $DISPLAY set, ssh prints an error message about it on every connection. Specifically, it reports: DISPLAY "(null)" invalid; disabling X11 forwarding This behavior did not exist before the upgrade. This is a divergence from historical behavior and screws up any number of things. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have a host, call it THEHOST, and a key that will work for the host, call it $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa. 2.Run: env - ssh -F /dev/null -o "ForwardX11 yes" -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa THEHOST /bin/true Actual Results: ssh complains: DISPLAY "(null)" invalid; disabling X11 forwarding Expected Results: No complaint. Silence about $DISPLAY being unset, because this is routine.
