#48735: Macports' quartz produces error when using ssh -Y -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: thiagoveloso@… | Owner: macports- Type: defect | tickets@… Priority: Normal | Status: new Component: ports | Milestone: Keywords: X11, forward, warning, quartz | Version: 2.3.3 | Port: xorg-server -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Trying to ssh my Macbook Pro with X11 enabled generates a warning that prevents any X11 app to load: {{{ thiago@nowhere:~$ ssh -Y thiago@localhost Password: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0 Last login: Wed Aug 26 17:07:40 2015 from localhost }}} Notice the line: '''X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0''' Apparently, xauth is not able to get the correct $DISPLAY variable, thus generating the error message. The solution has been already applied to XQuartz. It is described in the answer to this question: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/169657/ssh-x-does-not-work-on- yosemite Or, more specifically, here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/2068 As of now, the solution to this issue would be installing XQuartz from xquartz.macosforge.org. However, since quartz is also installed by MacPorts along with the '''xorg-server''' (or '''xorg-server-devel''') package, it would be convenient to avoid two redundant packages installed on the computer. Applying this fix to MacPorts's quartz would avoid the need to also install XQuartz to solve this issue.
