Hi everyone,
I recently started to use Clear Linux and love it thus far.
Currently I am trying to setup SSH to connect from macOS to my Clear Linux (headless) server, including graphics forwarding.
The goal is to use the virt-manager
GUI from an SSH session running on macOS.
Initially I had some issues starting an SSH session after configuring Clear Linux as described in the docs:
- Warning regarding X11 forwarding. Added
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
as shown below. - Warning regarding
xauth
. Installedxauth
(x11-tools
bundle) on Clear Linux and addedxauth
path on macOS.
The problem I am facing now is that after running an SSH session for less than 30 minutes, I get disconnected with a Broken pipe
message on macOS:
packet_write_wait: Connection to <ip_addr> port <port>: Broken pipe
Afterwards I try to start a new SSH session from macOS, but this results in a timeout:
$ ssh -X -v <user>@<ip_addr> -p <port>
OpenSSH_7.9p1, LibreSSL 2.7.3
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/<user>/.ssh/config
debug1: /Users/<user>/.ssh/config line 8: Applying options for *
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 48: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to <ip_addr> [<ip_addr>] port <port>.
debug1: connect to address <ip_addr> port <port>: Operation timed out
ssh: connect to host <ip_addr> port <port>: Operation timed out
I checked sudo iptables -L
, but there are no entries listed.
Similarly, there are no entries for sudo ipset list tallow
.
Clear Linux has the following configuration (/etc/ssh/sshd_config
):
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11UseLocalhost yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11Forwarding yes
macOS has the following configuration (~/.ssh/config):
Host *
XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth
Any idea what goes wrong here and why I am logged out?
I would love to hear your suggestions and/or improvements regarding this setup.
