X11 forwarding on imx8mp-evk with xwayland

[axjensen]

Hi,

We are unable to get X11 forwarding on imx8mp-evk with xwayland.

xauth is added to xwayland and sshd set up to allow X11 forwarding

We are trying to execute an application as root.

Doing an ssh connection as root with X11 Forwarinng we launch an application from the terminal.

The GUI of the application  then is displayed on the monitor attached to the imx8mp and not forwarded over SSH.

What might be the problem?

refer to the another customer, it seems that imx should support this if install the xauth

Thank you @joanxie 

As I mention in the original message, xauth is already installed.

I've have also tried the advices from you two last links, which does not solve the problem. So I am stuck.

In your first link, a user @OtavioSalvador has successfully solved the problem by configuring OpenSSH. It would be of great help to know what he had to change from default values.

Thank you,
