Comment on Get remote X Windows working in Ubuntu Karmic by Gregory Grubbs

@erikr, I have logged on to several Linux machines to determine their default Xauthority database location, using xauth -v. On Debian machines, I always get ~/.Xauthority. I get that result even on a server that has been upgraded to Karmic, but which does not have Gnome. On my laptop, however, I get /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gregj-3sy6gB/database. That path changes every time I log in, with different salt. Since everything else looks to your home .Xauthority file, this causes your emacsclient session to fail to authenticate.

I might try messing around with setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable, but I’m not sure that would work for Gnome.

Greg, I have this same problem, too. Is this xauth stuff really the “official” solution? I unfortunately know nothing about xauth.

I can ssh to my remote box with X forwarding and run “xeyes” just fine, and even emacs runs fine. My only problem is when I run emacsclient and try to create a new frame, I get the same error as you… I will try your solution! Thank you!

P.S. Everything did work fine until the upgrade to karmic…

Comment on Emacs Power: remote servers and shell commands by Gregory Grubbs

Thanks, Jason.

Let’s see, I’m running primarily on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic alpha-6); GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1; ido 1.57-ish that was included in this release of Emacs.

I have noticed that some system process modes do not heed the TRAMP file syntax. Flymake-mode comes to mind as one. I think the solution is for the mode to call ’start-file-process instead of ’start-process. I’m guessing that more modes are using ’start-file-process, and perhaps they did not do so in earlier versions.

Great post! Just out of curiosity what versions of emacs/ido/etc are you running this on. I’m seeing some different behavior in mine when I try to get a shell on the remote server from within dired.
