I keep getting this error. $ xlogo Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 I have tried both types of connections for forwarding x11 with debug and normal instance of sshd ssh -Y remotehost -p 2500 ssh -X remotehost -p 2500 The server

config permits x11 forwarding. Testing with a new sshd instance in debug I see this when connecting. The only relevant part of debug I could tell: debug1: channel 1: new [X11 inet listener] debug1: channel 2: new [X11 inet listener] DISPLAY is set $ echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 The user is a standard user with sudo access and I otherwise have no issue (everything is cli works fine.) Additionally, I am not using Multiplexing connections & I can use x11 forwarding when I connect to myself (ssh -X 127.0.0.1). Using ssh -v while connecting does not give any more useful feedback when the error shows up. If I missed anything I can try, let me know. I'm stumped. edit: $ netstat -l | grep 6010 tcp 0 0 ip6-localhost:6010 *:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ip6-localhost:6010 [::]:* LISTEN Also, I did ssh -X 127.0.0.1 on the server and it spit out this: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. xauth list.

It can use a number of transport protocols, including Unix sockets and TCP/IP sockets. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/178513/forwarding-x11-not-working-error-cant-open-display-localhost11-0 Which mechanism is used, is determined by the format of the DISPLAY environment variable. When DISPLAY does not contain a hostname, e.g. it is set to :0, Unix sockets will be used. When it does contain a hostname, e.g. it is set to localhost:0.0, the X client application will try to connect to the server (even localhost http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/Troubleshooting/can_not_open_display.shtml as in the example) via TCP/IP sockets X has an authentication mechanism, which decides whether a client is allowed to connect to a server. As the Internet has become an increasingly hostile environment, it has become good practice to only open up services to the Internet when they are really needed. Recently in some Linux distributions, X is by default configured to listen only to localhost. That means that default X settings become more and more defensive and thus without tuning there are more and more reasons why remote communications attempts using X initially will fail. That's why the first time you try to run a remote X application on modern Linux distributions, it usually does not work. The most common error message by far is "Can't open display". In this case an X client application, for example xterm, reports an error Can't open display on startup, for instance xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0 The first thing to try is to ensure that you used a correct sequ
