Apologies, I didn't read through your post the first time through.
If you are doing both the above an you still can't start any X
applications, provide additional detail.
Essentially, the following should work or provide more information.
- Start in an existing X session as a user capable of displaying
clients on the active display.
- Connect to the remote host. For debugging purposes, use the verbose
option:
$ ssh -X -v user@remote 2>&1 | tee ssh.log
- Launch an X client from the remote client. I usually pick xlogo as
a simple, light, fast test:
$ xclient
...if any of this fails, check your debugging output for messages and
post back.
