Ubuntu ssh X11 forwarding question
by lleb from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MDAZ)
attempted to open gedit on my laptop via ssh today. On my workstation I have the following entries in my ~/.ssh/config
Code:Host *
Protocol 2
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ServeraliveInterval 30
ServerAliveCountMax 5
TCPKeepAlive yesOn the laptop /etc/ssh/sshd_config shows
Code:#AllowAgentForwarding yes
#AllowTcpForwarding yes
#GatewayPorts no
X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
#PermitTTY yesI'm a tad confused why this is not working. Works in reverse, if I'm on my laptop I can ssh with X11Forwarding without issue.
yes I have used X11Forwarding from my workstation to other devices without issue.
Thank you in advance.
