[Bug 592434] Re: ssh -X user@machine hangs when using exit to terminate

 

** Description changed:

  ssh -X user@server hangs when using exit to terminate
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  user@client:~$ ssh -X user@server
  user@server:~$ gedit
  
  At this point gedit from server will run locally. Closing the program
  and returning to the terminal you run:
  
  user@server:~$ exit
  logout
  
  At this point the terminal hangs on the echo logout, but does not return to the client prompt. The action has been consistent when connecting to a server running opensolaris or ubuntu 8.04.
  The client is using Ubuntu 10.04 and the server is using 8.04, and using default password authentication. As you will see in the video attached I can confirm the issue when using a clean Ubuntu 10.04 as a client and Ubuntu 8.04 as the server, using default password authentication.
  
- However there are a few things you can do to work around this issue.
+ Workaround
+ ----------
  -When logging out with "exit" and it hangs, press Ctrl-C
  -If you would like to simply use gedit on another computer use the following command:
-   $ dbus-launch gedit
-   
+   $ dbus-launch gedit
