Greetings. |

I need to activate X forwarding while connecting to a remote machine via |
4 |
SSH. So, I edited the config files for ssh on this remote machine, such |
5 |
as /etc/ssh/ssh_config and /etc/ssh/sshd_config, to set ForwardX11 to |
6 |
yes, etc.... However, after fooling around with all these config files, I |
7 |
still cannot get this remote machine to forward X, and I _think_ I know |
8 |
why. It turns out that $DISPLAY is empty (unset) on that machine. From |
9 |
what I read on other forums, $DISPLAY needs to be set on the remote |
10 |
machine to enable any kind of X forwarding. |
11 |
|
12 |
What do I do here? After doing "ssh -X remote.host" $DISPLAY is still |
13 |
unset. If can set $DISPLAY manually, then when any app is trying to |
14 |
start, it says it can't open display... blah blah blah... |
15 |
|

I have put a similar message on gentoo-user, but none of the obvious |
17 |
things have resolved this. |
