Hello everyone,

From my workstation (Ubuntu 10.04.2), I try to start an application running on my server but this application requires X Window System. My server does not have a GUI. So I did "ssh -X ip_address_of_server". The server is Debian 6.0 (Squeeze). When I start the application and then I have "Failed to open the X11 display!" .

I use to do it on other system without problem. What is missing here?

Any cue will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Bernard
