#31489: "gv: Unable to open the display" @ Mac OS X Lion ---------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: cunguowang@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: lion Port: gv | ---------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by majoc@…): For completeness: This is actually a security feature of SSH (at least on Apple clients), where the X cookie times out. Try "ssh -XY remhost" instead, and the cookie should persist longer than a thousand seconds. Hope this helps .... it caught me out too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31489#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
