ssh -X into OpenMediaVault

  • Hi


    I installed gparted on openmediavault in the hope that I can ```ssh -X``` into the OMV to do some disk partitioning. But gparted tells me that it can't open the display. I was able to do the same in the same computer running Ubuntu before I installed OMV.


    My client is OS X (El Capitan).
    Any suggestions?


    Thanks,


    Rainer

    Did you install xauth? You could install the remotedesktop plugin and use the remote desktop client to execute gparted.

  • Ryecoaaron is correct. You need to do the xauth after logging in. This should work for you (just used gparted this weekend)


    ssh -X into the server
    type "xauth list" to get the list of keys
    sudo su - to change to root
    type "xauth add" and the key from the previous command to add it to the list
    enjoy your xsession


    Cheers!
