I need to run GUIs from a Linux server (which I do not have sudo for) for work.
Being on a Windows 11 computer, I set up a WSL with Ubuntu-22.04, and succesfully followed these steps to display Linux GUIs on my Windows system: xeyes and other related programs work as intended when working locally.
However, I haven't been able to run GUIs from my work server.
Here is an example with xeyes; the following error is printed:
myprofile@palaeoprime:~$ xeyes
debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
debug1: client_request_x11: request from 127.0.0.1 44850
debug1: channel 1: new [x11]
debug1: confirm x11
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
debug1: channel 1: free: x11, nchannels 2
Error: Can't open display: palaeoprime:10.0
X11 forwarding is enabled on the server (X11Forwarding yes,X11UseLocalhost no and X11DisplayOffset 10 are present in /etc/ssh/sshd_config), and Xauth is installed too.
When connecting to the server ssh myprofile@serverIP -X -v, I get the following text after putting in my password:
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Requesting no-more-sessions@openssh.com
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: pledge: exec
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
debug1: Requesting X11 forwarding with authentication spoofing.
debug1: Sending environment.
debug1: channel 0: setting env LANG = "C.UTF-8"
Is there a solution for this, or is it more viable for me to install Xming locally and work from there? This is my first post on Super User, my apologies if it is not detailed enough or poorly worded, more than happy to add edits if clarifications are needed. Cheers!
