set-up X11 Forwarding over ssh

Question

I\'m attempting to set up x11 forwarding to monitor video on an embedded robotics platform yet I cannot seem to get the board to generate graphical output. I\'m running Arc

Answer 1

ssh should set the DISPLAY automatically. usual suspects: missing "X11Forwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

To debug you can run verbose mode on the client and server and you may notice something : try on the "server" side (debug mode, no daemon)

$ /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p 222

on the "client":

$ ssh -v -Y phil@192.168.0.14 -p 222

Once in a while I meet an odd thing, like 'missing xauth' ...
