On my PC I have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit installed. On my laptop I have Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit installed. I want to be able to forward X applications from my laptop to my PC using SSH.
I followed all tutorials but I can't get it to work.
sshd_config on the laptop contains the line:
X11Forwarding yes
It doesn't seem to work, however:
roey@roey-desktop:~$ ssh -X roey-1000h.local
