I use a slightly weird setup where I will connect from my Mac laptop to a linux machine, using ssh -X
, and from there connect to a Windows machine using rdesktop
. This works just fine, but whenever I update Mac OS (even minor upgrades), I find I have to re-install XQuartz. If I don't, rdesktop
fails with the message ERROR: Failed to open display:
. After I re-install XQuartz, it works as expected (no reboot or log out or anything, just opening a new connection with ssh -X
).
Is there a way I can avoid having to reinstall XQuartz all the time? It gets a little annoying.
