Description

Is there an existing issue for this bug?
  • I have searched the existing open issues and found none that apply.
  • If I find any issue of interest that is related or closed, I will included a link to it in this issue.
Required Troubleshooting Steps
  • I have read and performed the troubleshooting steps
  • I have tried both values of the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting
  • My issue was not covered in the Tips and Tricks linked from the Troubleshooting Wiki.
  • I will include a complete copy of my Remote - SSH logs by running Remote-SSH: Show Log in the command palette or from View > Output in the menu bar
[Optional] Diagnose with Copilot

I did not ask the @remote-ssh participant for help

In step 2 of the troubleshooting wiki, what was the result of running the generated SSH command verbatim outside of VS Code?

I did not try step 2 of the troubleshooting steps

[13:56:01.280] "Update SSH_AUTH_SOCK" terminal command done

Expected Behavior

I currently ssh using the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable to pipe PIV card information through pageant using the wsl-ssh-pageant tool.
This ssh goes through a bastion and then connects to the server I want to. I've followed suggestions mentioned in issue [#267] and [#589]. I set the Display variable in windows to localhost:0.0 hoping the remote-ssh extension would pick that up and pass it on through to enable x11 through the terminal

Actual Behavior

Remote-ssh never seems to actually set the DISPLAY variable in the bash terminal (of the remote server). I can get x11 to work if I first start a putty session, get the display variable from putty and manually set that in the bash terminal. But it doesnt do it manually and connect with Xming.

Steps To Reproduce

This is my config file. I've tried both ssh -X and ssh -Y along with turning on both ForwardX11 and ForwardX11Trusted. Ive also tried setting a remotecommand also to no avail.

Host <hosts>
  User <user>
  ProxyCommand ssh -XY -l <user> <bastion server> -W %h:%p
  ServerAliveCountMax 4
  ServerAliveInterval 15
  TCPKeepAlive yes

  ControlMaster auto
  # ControlPath ~/.ssh/multiplex/master-%r@%h:%p
  ControlPersist 3600

  # Add LocalForward ports to open more ports
  # Opening Port 9801 to Forward Jupyter Notebook Server.
  LocalForward 9801 localhost:9801

  # Sets the DISPLAY Variable 
  # RemoteCommand export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0

  Protocol 2
  ForwardAgent yes
  ForwardX11 yes
  ForwardX11Trusted yes
  
  PKCS11Provider "C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"
Anything else?

Ive also tried using the Remote-X11 extension (didnt work) but Id like to ideally get it working with remote-ssh

Research direction

Start with the Remote-SSH: Show Log output and run the generated SSH command outside VS Code, focusing on the DISPLAY and X11-forwarding details shown in the report. No source file or test is named; done means establishing a reproducible failure, expected behavior, and a focused implementation or test location.
