can you post the exact terminal commands that you are using?
Sure, sorry: From my laptop, I use: ssh -X nirvana.3111skyline.com to ssh into my arch server (nirvana). In that same terminal, I then want to start X apps on supersff by using for example /opt/kde/bin/kate & to have kate from the server appear on my laptop. Works fine. Also for config purposes, I su on nirvana to start kate to manage the apache configs, etc. Instead of starting the X app and having it show up on my laptop, all I get is: 04:19 alchemy:~> snv Last login: Wed Jul 21 00:30:35 2010 from zephyr.3111skyline.com 04:23 nirvana:~> /opt/kde/bin/kate & [1] 2309 04:24 nirvana:~> X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10 Major opcode: 18 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x6e [1]+ Segmentation fault /opt/kde/bin/kate Strangely enough, I can use gedit on this box so it appears to be a kde3 issue (environment?) Here is the output I get on running gedit: 04:24 nirvana:~> /usr/bin/gedit & [1] 2321 You have mail in /var/mail/david 04:24 nirvana:~> Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0". ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow) ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible) ** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject) [1]+ Done /usr/bin/gedit Lastly, I have another arch box named supersff. When I attempt either kate or gedit there, I get a can't open display error 04:27 alchemy:~> sff Last login: Fri Jul 16 20:28:39 2010 from zephyr.3111skyline.com 04:30 supersff:~> /opt/kde/bin/kate & [1] 1410 04:30 supersff:~> kate: cannot connect to X server [1]+ Exit 1 /opt/kde/bin/kate 04:31 supersff:~> gedit & [1] 1411 04:32 supersff:~> (gedit:1411): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [1]+ Exit 1 gedit I can't recall if I have to set display somewhere or just what we did to get this working.
