Problems running X apps via ssh from non-FC3 box

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm having trouble starting X11 apps that reside on an FC3 box and display them on a remove X server via ssh. This happens with various different X servers on non-FC3 boxes. Again, that's when I ssh *to* FC3 *from* a different OS/distro.

One example from a Mac OS X session is taken below. I think I've seen the same kind of error on Red Hat 9, too. In fact, I may also get the same problem if remote host is running Enterprise Linux 4 rather than FC3.

This is a kind of problem that make me very upset, since the ability to do this kind of operation is normally one of the real advantages of Linux (perhaps the most important one.) I mean, if you give that away, where are you going to be...

Help, anyone?

% ssh 192.168.2.52 gnome-terminal --sync
dd@xxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
 (Details: serial 81 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
 (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
  option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
