I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and want to run its x applications remotely from my mac. Xaudioconverter mac. I've checked out that /etc/ssh/sshdconfig has 'X11Forwarding yes' line. Also it contains following options related to X11: X11Forwarding yes X11UseLocalhost no. But when I try to connect to ubuntu from my mac I have following error during login: 'Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.'
(I'm using 'ssh -X -Y login@ubuntu-host') Attempt to run some x11 application produces this Error: Can't open display: ubuntu-host:11.0. After that I tried to set display manualy: 'export DISPLAY=client-host:0.0'. I've got the same result: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: star-6.local:0.0.
I have ran these commands on client machine and 'Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.' Disappeared: /Users/klim% rm /.Xauthority /Users/klim% xauth list xauth: creating new authority file /Users/klim/.Xauthority /Users/klim% xauth generate `echo $DISPLAY`. Xauth: creating new authority file /Users/klim/.Xauthority /Users/klim% xauth list star-6.local/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 370e4a243a286a195c5e67 But the problem still remains. It's unable to run x11 apps on ubuntu host, even with set DISPLAY: ubuntu-host:$ xcalc Error: Can't open display: ubuntu-host:10.0 ubuntu-host:$ export DISPLAY=client-host:0.0 ubuntu-host:$ xcalc No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: client-host:0.0.

Bug 172064 (sf1754437 Remove X11 Dependency For Mac Free
But when I try to connect to ubuntu from my mac I have following error during login: 'Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.' (I'm using 'ssh -X -Y login@ubuntu-host') Attempt to run some x11 application produces this Error: Can't open display: ubuntu-host:11.0. After that I tried to set display manualy: 'export DISPLAY=client-host:0.0'. I've got the same result: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: star-6.local:0.0 You should use either -X or -Y, but not both. For OSx, you may only be able to use -Y which is not as secure.
So, try this: ssh -X login@ubuntu-host If that is not successful, try this: ssh -Y login@ubuntu-host If neither of those are successful, we'll need to take a deeper look at what you're using on OSx for X11. What X11 emulator are you using in OSx? Dmizer, thank you for reply.
You should use either -X or -Y, but not both. I've read it at man pages after first post:) Now every time I'm trying two variants 'ssh -X.'
And 'ssh -Y.' If neither of those are successful, we'll need to take a deeper look at what you're using on OSx for X11. I'm using standard x11 system bundled in OSx (X11.app 2.1.1 - (xorg-server 1.3.0-apple5)).
But I think it is not client problem. I checked x11 forwarding at other two hosts (OpenSuse and RHEL) — it works.
