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.

Sweet! Thanks alot, no more jumping back and forth between machines.

Now to finish up the wireless and IR on my front end and I'm set.
