Re: [SID - Unstable] [workaround] ssh -X "cannot open display" on all four machines

IPv6 is disabled on all four machines. I think "any" still should have fallen back to IPv4. I did just add that info to the bug report.

Re: [SID - Unstable] ssh -X "cannot open display" on all four machines

I just fixed it. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I changed

#AddressFamily any

to

AddressFamily inet

and restarted sshd. Gonna go file a bug report now :)

Re: [Discussion] Which application, now defunct in Debian, do you remember fondly?

Actually there is no good reason to use sudo at all for this. Agreed, other than my aforementioned policykit allergy but even I'll admit that's not a *good* reason :mrgreen: My point was that I see someone who's used sudo to run a graphical application fairly often and they invariably wonder why an...

Re: [SID - Unstable] ssh -X "cannot open display" on all four machines

Maybe. I'm sure they'll get it figured out and I imagine someone's already filed a bug but I don't seem to be able to figure out which application gets the bug report; I've looked for bug reports in xorg, ssh and xauth, nothing in those three packages yet.

** crossposted from r/debian ** Have four Sid machines here and ssh -X has worked fine on all of them for years. For the last two days I haven't been able to run graphical applications over ssh from any of these machines. As mentioned in subject line, error says "cannot open display" and i...

Re: Root password strength

Any downsides of not using IPv6? Aren't they going to completely switch to IPv6? I can only speak from personal experience but there's been no downside for me. Hasn't been anything I've tried to do on the internet that required IPv6. I'm sure that'll change at some point, though - I have no idea wh...

Re: Root password strength

Why? What are downsides? My ISP doesn't have IPv6 and i thought it is a bad thing because, as i read, all modern internet use IPv6. There is no accepted standard for network address translation in IPv6 so your IPv6 address is a public address and can be reached from just about anywhere on the inter...

I guess one could disable IPv6 on the machine - at least that's what I do. It's also disabled on my ISP-provided router but I disable it on workstations just in case my ISP changes its mind :mrgreen:

Re: Root password strength

One thing I haven't seen asked - is this machine accessible from outside your home network? If so I'd recommend a strong-ish password. If your router is using NAT (it most likely is) and there are no ports forwarded to your machine (unlikely unless you set this up on your router) I think you can rel...

Re: Bookworm: sudo ifup / sudo ifdown no longer tab completes

Deleted my post because my theory that bash completion had to do with a path was completely wrong. I will say that tab completion works as OP expects in Sid but Bookworm uses an earlier version of bash-completion than Trixie or Sid does. You could try this just for fun - apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::='...

Re: [Sound] Bt speaker not recognized as audio device after pipewire install

I think it might have been a better idea to use Debian's documentation to install pipewire on Debian.
