I ran into this years ago, and completely forgot the "solution". I use `ssh -X root@localhost' so that I can run X apps from a root authenticated xterm. I've been doing so for years. I just did a new install of openSuse 13.1 and got the error message:
when I sshed to root.
It makes perfect sense to disable IPV6 on a network where it is not used. Unfortunately, the only way I know to get `ssh -X' to work is to enable IPV6. Is there a way to make ssh to work without enabling the unnecessary IPV6?
This issue cost me a lot of time, again.
Code:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
