OK, that gives us a better picture of your setup, and validates my guess. Is there any text before or after the "can't open display" message?
Are you running xastir from the command line in a terminal window, or from a script/GUI menu entry/etc? Can you open other graphical applications? If you can open a terminal window, try running xastir from the command line and hopefully there will be more information to tell us what's happening. -j On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 3:11 PM francesco muciaccia <mucifirew...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am using a graphical vnc session through a secure ssh connection .....
