All,
I am sending Linux commands from CMD (Windows) through SSH, and I am
getting "Can't open display". Below I am capturing my issue, the IP number
is the remote Linux machine.
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.746]
(c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\bellsal>\cygwin\bin\ssh 192.168.0.8 pwd
/usr/bin/xrdb: Can't open display ''
/home/bellsal
It seems the remote machine is expecting to run a X interface
by default.
Or you have the startX (or similar) in the personal login scripts
The expect behaviour on a Unix machine (Cygwin or Linux) is:
$ ssh 127.0.0.1 pwd
Marco@127.0.0.1's password:
/home/Marco
PWD should not require X11 connection, so I don't understand why I am
getting this issue. Do I need to set an environment variable? If I need
an xterm from my remote Linux, I know I need to export the display, and
that works fine. But, I am only sending a simple command from the CMD
console.
Thanks in advance.
Sa;
I suggest you to check the remote scripts.
It does not seem a Cygwin side problem
