When I bought my Pi couple of months ago, I had a set up going where I didn't need any external monitor to work on the Pi while on the go with my Macbook Pro.
I'm usually in the Commandline, but I got X11 forwarding working back then with the following:
- Enabling X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
- SSH into Pi with `ssh -x @
- Start X11 Forwarding with
/etc/X11/Xsession
Back then I was on Mountain Lion, and downloaded XQuartz, step (3) worked.
Just got a new MBP running El Capitan, and for whatever reason, step (3) above causes the Pi to pause for a sec, and do nothing, i.e. it looks like the command was executed, and shows command line again for the next command.
Where could I find X11 logs to diagnose this issue? The Xorg logs aren't updated for the X11 forwarding (that I could see).
Or better yet, has anyone got X11 forward working on El Capitan?
