Re: Failed to open the X11 display!

I compared the sshd_config files from two servers, one from which I can start an application requiring a GUI and the one from my problematic server.  Both are identical.

I am even more puzzled now as I would expect at least one diffirence.

Thanks,

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
