Maybe I'm stating the obvious. Normally you would be running this command from a local X client where the shell would have the $DISPLAY value set. Like this: echo $DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0
Once I connect via ssh -X, the same command produces this output: echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 You have three options in the destination host sshd_config that control whether you can have the application display on the remote server. X11Forwarding yes #X11DisplayOffset 10 #X11UseLocalhost yes Only the first one needs to be set. The other settings are default and don't need to be changed. Maybe another obvious fact Restarting sshd will allow it to operate with changed settings on new connections. Existing connections will continue with the old settings.
