Bug#524413: xauth fails with xorg 7.4
gregor herrmann
Version: 1:1.0.3-2
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Since quite some time I've used the following setup (with two machines
in my LAN for getting $URL from irssi on $server to $desktop):
on $desktop:
/usr/bin/xauth extract - $desktop:0.0 | ssh $server xauth merge -
on $server:
DISPLAY=$desktop:0 ssh -X $client sensible-browser "$URL"
(and X on $desktop runs as `/usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100', i.e. without
the default '-nolisten tcp')
Since last week's upgrade of xserver-xorg-* this doesn't work any
more, all I get on $server is:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
The output of `xauth list' on both machines looks sane and matches.
`xauth +$server' also works as expected.
Please tell me if there's anything else I can check or try or ...
Cheers,
gregor

Wow, that's quite a running in circles. Why don't you just use
ssh client DISPLAY=:0 sensible-browser "$URL"
Hochachtungsvoll,

/me coughs in embarrassment
Right, that's indeed way simpler and does what I want; thanks!

So should we close this?

Bernhard's proposal solves my problem, but xauth still doesn't seem
to work -- unless I'm doing something wrong:
gregoa@belanna:~$ xauth list
belanna/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
belanna.comodo.priv.at:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
gregoa@guinan:~$ xauth list
gregoa@belanna:~$ xauth extract - belanna:0.0 | ssh guinan xauth merge -
gregoa@guinan:~$ xauth list
belanna:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 a48ce076edc6f675ff5db43f43bdc313
gregoa@guinan:~$ DISPLAY=belanna:0 xeyes
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: Can't open display: belanna:0
gregoa@belanna:~$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: xserverrc 189 2005-06-11 00:04:27Z branden $
#exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -retro
Maybe I'm missing something but I seem to remember that this worked
before this way.
Cheers,
gregor
