Instead of trying to throw the display directly use 'ssh' to connect. ssh -X othermachine > > * make sure your xauth is correct > > well, i do not even have the file /home/.Xautorithy, if you refer to > it... if else, could you explain me what are you referring to? The 'xauth' command manages $HOME/.Xauthority. It is part of the xbase-clients package and needs to be installed on both machines. > > * make sure your X is listening for connections. This means that your X11 server has by default turned off listening to the network with the '-nolisten tcp' option as a security measure. So unless you decide you don't need security and change that setting your X server will not even be listening to the network. > if you mean something like enable any host, well i gave the commmand > "xhost +" but the problem is still there Using xhost is insecure and obsolete. You should avoid it. Use the ssh tunnelling of X connections instead. Bob
