Yes, I start an Emacs session, including (server-start), and then ssh in to that machine using $ ssh -CY me@myhost and enter the emacsclient command. Is there something unconventional about this? I'm running emacsclient remotely; I thought this was the main reason emacsclient was created (and I've been using it this way for two years). > That won't work if you have ssh X forwarding on, which is what you > seem to have. It worked just fine until I started using Fedora on my server, and it works from other servers: if I log in to a University server from the same client and issue the same commands, with X forwarding and so on, I get a new Emacs window on my local display. > The emacs daemon runs on display :0 (or something similar), and > emacsclient tries to open your forwarded display, localhost:10, > which goes to the host you came from. This can never work. Never? As I said, it worked until I switched the OS on my workstation, and it works on other machines. Should I try it without X forwarding? I must be as confused as you are because as I said, this worked until my recent changes. Before I used Slackware 13.0 with Emacs from CVS (my switch was two months ago). Thanks, Joel -- Joel J.
