Argh! I hate^H^H^H^H^H am having some trouble with X.
$ ssh -l root foo.example.com
foo# xosview &
Can't open display named
Yes, sshd_config on foo contains
X11Forwarding yes
and ssh_config on my machine contains
ForwardX11 yes
In fact, everyting works fine on many other machines I have set up at
example.com.
The machines with a problem are those where I haven't installed X on
foo. But you're not supposed to have to install X on a server if it
always displays remotely. I don't want X on my servers. (This problem
never occured with RedHat.)
I haven't been able to find any hint of what's going on any logs on the
server or on the client. I do note that
foo~# echo $DISPLAY
return nothing, whereas on machines where the X-forwarding works, I do
get something. But
foo# export DISPLAY=foo.example.com:0
doesn't help.
What do I have to do to get a machine without X to forward X output over
ssh?
