Re: [Machinekit] ssh -X works on 8.7 image but not on 9.5 (Stretch) image

[schoone...@gmail.com]

We don't make the images. It is either because the host or client ( or both ) does not have an X server or the address of it is not forwarded. You cannot run an X gui where the host image is headless with no X-org installed and the client is a windoze box without it either, for example. Some of the ssh defaults changed in Stretch and have to be specifically enabled to work. There is lots of info on the net. For example this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely On 30/08/18 02:56, mugginsac wrote: If I boot the 8.7 image with machinekit I can start linuxcnc or stepconf with ssh -X machinekit@beaglebone.local. However, when I try to start linuxcnc or machinekit after logging in with ssh -X machinekit@beaglebone.local on the 9.5 (Stretch) image, I get the following error (same error whether I type linuxcnc or machinekit). ------------------------------------------------------------------- MACHINEKIT - 0.1 application-specific initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Error in startup script: invalid command name "image"     while executing "image create photo -file $f/$i.gif"     invoked from within "if [file exists $f/$i.gif] {             return [image create photo -file $f/$i.gif]         }"     (procedure "linuxcnc::image_search" line 7)     invoked from within "linuxcnc::image_search machinekit-wizard"     invoked from within "set logo [linuxcnc::image_search machinekit-wizard]"     (file "/usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc/bin/pickconfig.tcl" line 31) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since it works under Jessie and not under Stretch, it seems to me that the change must either have something to do with changes made in  either in machinekit or in Stretch. Anyway help would be appreciated.
