Black@Black-PC ~ $ ssh -Y kwagjj@$labserver -p 122 [kwagjj@James5 ~]$ firefox Error: no display specified [kwagjj@James5 ~]$ I used -X, -Y because I read somewhere that these two options are related with credentials regarding X11 and these switches will do the job for me. Even without the -X, -Y switches, my attempt failed. What does the 'no display speicified' error mean? P.S. The weird thing is that if I connect to the remote server through my PUTTY and repeat the command 'firefox' it works?!?!(firefox is displayed on local computer) P.S. my local computer is Windows 7 so I have Xming running on background in order to allow X11 display. As for the attempt written on the upper part, the commands were typed in at Cygwin terminal. ssh x11 cygwin share|improve this question edited Jun 24 '14 at 23:37 Gilles 371k696751126 asked Jun 24 '14 at 12:43 kwagjj 61121021 Have you tried to di

You probably don't even have X11 in A because it's a server –Kos Jun 3 '14 at 13:41 @Kos yes, you are right, I installed X11 server, but this means I am no longer using Ubuntu Server (but this is not a problem in my case). Thank you –user223514 Jun 3 '14 at 13:45 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You can use X Forwarding to do that. Make sure that firefox is installed on your server, then from your desktop, run: ssh username@ip_adress -Y [command line] if -Y does not work, you can still use -X instead. If it's not working, be sure that: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server, X11Forwarding is set to yes in /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client, ForwardX11 is set to yes. Add the line if needed. xauth is installed on the server : sudo apt-get install xauth Regards, Thomas. share|improve this answer edited Jun 3 '14 at 9:17 answered Jun 3 '14 at 8:37 Lqp1 135 It says: Error: no
