Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Can't launch x11 remotely from terminal Post 302546662 by bitlord on Thursday 11th of August 2011 08:39:29 PM

Hi I also us a Mac at home. I use it to login to the server I have at home.
Anyway if -X is not working you can try using -Y. I don't think you need the -l in your command. This what I do:
Code:
ssh -X [username]@[servername]

If you create an account on your Mac with the same username as the account you use at school and only need this:
Code:
ssh -X [servername]

If you do this then you can even use RSA or DSA keys to login instead of using your password. More secure.

Also check your firewall and network setting Lion may have made some unwanted changes.

A little late but I hope it helps.

GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)

NAME
gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME SYNOPSIS
gnome-ssh-askpass DESCRIPTION
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display is available). This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro- grams, for example. In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized: GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase. GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase. Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab(). AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> for the Debian system (but may be used by others). It was based on that for x11-ssh-askpass by Philip Hands. GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)
