Screen would go dark.
I found a post in the LinuxMint forums.

In my case, I wanted to run the X client for emacs. All I needed to do was
# apt-get install emacs
I allowed apt to install the dependencies that it required but this did not
install all of X. From my Windows machine, which is running Xming, I ssh

It seems to run into a timeout during the test suite. However, it works
