SSH Connection - Problems viewing stuff
Hey,

I connected with Cygwin and this command:

"ssh -Y USER@web.com"

Then trying to open a program, but this error appeared:

"Cannot open X display: DISPLAY variable unset"

what do I have to do?
Thanks.

Alex

You have to make sure x11 forwarding is turned on in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and also that you set your DISPLAY variable

DISPLAY=<IPHERE>:10.0 export DISPLAY

echo $DISPLAY

hey thanks for your help.

I changed in the sshd_config X11 forwarding "YES"

Then I wrote this: with the IP of the logged on computer.

DISPLAY=<IPHERE>:10.0 export DISPLAY
echo $DISPLAY

Next Error:
Launcher.exe: Cannot connect to X server IP:10.0
Thanks again for your help

Make sure you have X server software on the machine you are trying to make and X session with and also that the software is running.
