Lately I've been getting this MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE error. It only happens |
| 2 |
when I'm logged into my home amd64 box from my office x86 box. I use |
| 3 |
ssh -X ip.add.res.s to log in. Everything seems to work and save fine |
| 4 |
except for the error message and not being able to run an x-application |
| 5 |
remotely. |

The first error occurs when I try to run an x-application remotely. |

$ jpilot |

The second error occurs after I exit a file from a text editor. |
| 13 |
$ vi file.txt |

I've been doing this for years without any problems and this probably |
| 17 |
started in the last month or so. |

I've seen a few things on line, but nothing that looks right. I also |
| 20 |
don't want to run the xhost+ command. |

Any ideas? |
