Summary of the X11 Forwarding Issue in AlmaLinux 10 Several users have reported that X11 forwarding no longer works as expected in AlmaLinux 10. This behavior originates from upstream RHEL 10 changes, where legacy X11 components and untrusted forwarding paths have been restricted for security and Wayland-related architectural updates. Common symptoms include: ssh -X / ssh -Y producing no GUI output X11Forwarding yes having no effect Missing or non-functional X11 compatibility packages Wayland defaults interfering with legacy X11 workflows Workarounds: Enable X11 forwarding explicitly in sshd_config Install compatibility packages: xorg-x11-xauth, xorg-x11-apps, xorg-x11-xinit Use a compatible X server on the client Use ssh -Y (trusted forwarding) in secure environments Consider alternatives such as VNC, SPICE, or X2Go for stable graphical access Upstream changes indicate that X11 forwarding is no longer guaranteed to function without additional configuration, and users may need to adjust workflows accordingly.
