Cannot run when inside remote X-Windows

[dioni21]

I use a Virtual Machine for my VPN connections. Connect to it using SSH with X tunnel.

All X programs I tested run perfectly, even 3D accelerated.

But when I run gpclient connect myvpn:

Error: Failed to parse auth data

I don't know why a connect window requires 3D OpenGL API, but can this be fixed work worked around?

Both remote and local hosts are running Fedora fc38

BTW: This is not a recent bug. The snapshot version also has this problem.

At least I can see the first window with the host name, but it never asks me for the user or password.

I haven't supported the remote X-Windows but will check if it is possible to support it.

Well, I am not using a vm but an LXC container with ssh + X11 forwarding, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I have run into exactly the same problem.

As an additional comment, version 1.4.9 works just fine for me, and I must keep using that version for now.

[yuezk]

@dioni21 @sjm42 I see your scenario.

Currently, gpclient launch-gui is not able to launch the GUI in the remote SSH, while I can run the GUI by running sudo gpservice (which is launch-gui calls under the hood) inside the remote SSH. You could use this command to run GUI from the remote SSH. I will make launch-gui work in the future releases.

[sjm42]

For me it would not matter how exactly to start the program if it works... but it does not. Perhaps I could install some DRI libraries or something that would cheat and still use X11 forwarding while pretending DRI or something? I really have no clue now.

@sjm42 What's your OS and desktop environment?

[sjm42]

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS wih Regolith desktop aka i3 window manager. VPN is running inside an LXC container with its own ip address, network bridged and with X11 forwarding over ssh. So this LXC container is acting like a jump server that has vpn connectivity but the "parent" Linux host does not.
