| Post subject: | setting the X display |
I am running knoppmyth R5A30.2. I can log in as mythtv and export my display to :0.0 and run xterm, and the xterm is displayed to the local X server. If I set my display to localhost:0.0 or 127.0.0.1:0 and run xterm, I get the following error. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0 I get the same behavior if I try to set the display to a remote X session, like 192.168.1.5:0. I have been working with Unix and X for many years and have never come accros this, so I'm guessing this is specific to Linux. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks |

I think your problem is because by default X11 forwarding is disabled in knoppmyth. Edit the file "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" and change the line "X11Forwarding no" to "X11Forwarding yes". Then run the command "/etc/init.d/ssh restart" and try exporting your display agian. |
