X11 Forwarding Problem
I have 2 Debian boxes.
In my ssh.com client and my putty client, I have X11 fowarding turned
on for both boxes.
When I connect one, I can xterm with no problem back to my pc.
On the other, I keep getting:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
On both machines in the sshd_config I have:
X11Forwarding yes
I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Hi,
I have issues with running graphical interfaces on my computer being remotely logged into a network via the -X option of ssh. My .cshrc shows DISPLAY=hostname:0 and I think there should be a different number instead of the 0. I changed the ssh_config file already to 'X11 forwarding yes', which... (0 Replies)

Hi,
We've been facing a strange issue. Clients use X11 forwarding via SSH on HP server and sometimes the same DISPLAY is assigned to two (maybe more) sessions. As a result, some users can't open their applications, and some have their windows redirected to somebody else.
It looks as if sshd... (1 Reply)

uxterm(1) General Commands Manual uxterm(1)
NAME
uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environments
SYNOPSIS
uxterm [ xterm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the 'UXTerm' X resource class set. All arguments to
uxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.
The environment's locale settings (see "ENVIRONMENT" below) are used to discern the locale's character set. If no current locale can be
determined, the locale 'en_US' (the English language as used in the territory of the United States) is assumed. The locale(1) utility is
used to determine whether the system supports the selected locale. If it does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the output of
locale.
Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the UTF-8 character encoding is not supported, or
if fonts using the ISO 10646-1 character set are not available. In the Debian system, the 'xfonts-base' package provides the fonts that
uxterm uses by default. To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file.
A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R environments.
ENVIRONMENT
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the current locale.
