No, it is telling you rubbish - saying that a package xorg does not exist in the repositories, which it does https://packages.debian.org/stretch/xorg You need to make sure /etc/apt/sources.list is up to date run 'apt update' then try again. The result you should get if it is installed is $ apt install xorg Building dependency tree       Reading state information... Done xorg is already the newest version (1:7.7+19). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Ignore the version, I am running sid. If I had a desktop I would use synaptic package manager to fetch and install everything needed. With just a login through terminal how do I locate, download and install what is needed?

The response to `apt install xorg` will tell you if the problem is that it is missing. On 30/08/18 16:12, Condit Alan wrote: Schooner, That is the kind of info I was looking for. I have done a bunch of googling and have seen a whole bunch of generalized info about other linux strains, but very little specifically about Debian Stretch. I saw something about installing OpenSSH and related server on Stretch but I didn’t know if anyone else had solved this problem and might have specific info about what is needed to make ssh -X work with machinekit on Stretch. Once this problem is solved would it be feasible for Robert Nelson to add the fix to the Stretch image?
