"X11Forwarding yes" option set in "/private/etc/sshd_config" for your SSH Daemon own local X11 host in order to recieve X11 client request back from the remote machine through ‘ssh‘ with the -X option set. Start or restart the Remote Login (SSH) Service under System Preference https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2048176?start=0&tstart=0 / Sharing pane on Mac OS X. The SSH daemon should run on the remote machine as well! See "man ssh", "man ssh_config" and "man sshd_config" for the complete explanation. 3 Simple Steps to X11 Forward on Mac OS X 1. Open "Terminal" in Mac OS X Leopard. 2. ssh -X X11 Forward to your remote host (See "man ssh" for the use of the -X or -Y flag X11 forward): ssh -X johndoe@123.456.789 3. Start your remote X11 program and view the user http://dyhr.com/2009/09/05/how-to-enable-x11-forwarding-with-ssh-on-mac-os-x-leopard/ display on your local machine: xeyes & Voila it works! The X application will start up your X11 environment. Its quite easy to do X11 forwarding when you first get the hang of it. Do elegant X11 stuff with ssh -X -f like: ssh -X -f user@remotehost xcalc -bg black -fg green Caveat Notes: Have the latest and updated versions of Mac OS X, Developer and X11. 3 Clues to successful X11 forwarding: A. When you make changes to /etc/sshd_config remember to restart the Remote Login Service (SSH). B. Remember to allow incoming access to X11 in the X11 preferences and through your firewall(s) and router! C. And you have will of curse have to be accurate about your local and remote machine naming convention i.e. John-Does-iMac.local or privat.happycamper.com. Check with "echo $HOSTNAME". On the remote machine you could also do a check with $REMOTEHOST (if set) to check your own machine name on the remote host. NOT! Sometimes it is necessary to use xhost +remotehost and set the $DISPLAY environment variable manually on Mac OS X (something -X or -Y flag in ssh should normally do for you). Try "echo $DISPLAY" on the local machine and remote to get hints of the $DISPLAY status. You can always check your environment with "env" and "$". On Mac OS X Leopard you use EXPORT with bash shell to set environment variables as opposed to tcsh that uses setenv. You should only set the $DISPLAY variable manually in a secure environment i.e. local

Thanks jessfraz commented Oct 22, 2014 So since boot2docker is running docker in a virtualbox, there are going to be a few extra configurations that need to happen... I think what you need is to add X11 forwarding to the virtualbox, I will try out some solutions. I'm a pretty big fan of bind mounting the X11 socket so it would be cool if it was just as easy for boot2docker users :) 👍 1 tianon referenced this issue in boot2docker/boot2docker Oct 23, 2014 Closed How to enable systemd for a container? #588 jessfraz commented Oct 24, 2014 Yeah so I think VNC is your best option here... you could ssh into the box and enable X11 forwarding as seen here http://oroborosx.sourceforge.net/remotex.html BUT I hate to say it the awesomeness for bind mounting the X11 sock is really best suited

I have no trouble using ssh -X to log in to the remote machine and starting an X11-based application from that shell. What has recently started happening is that additional invocations of X11 applications from that same shell, after a while (on the order of hours), are unable to start because the forwarded display is being blocked (I presume). When attempting to start xterm, for example, I get the usual message about a bad DISPLAY setting, such as: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 But the X11 application I started right when I logged in is still running along just fine, using that exact same display (localhost:10.0), just that it was started earlier. I turned on verbose logging in sshd_config and I see this in the /var/log/auth.log file in response to the failed xterm startup attempt: sshd[22104]: channel 8: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed If I ssh -X to the server again, starting a new shell and getting assigned a new display (localhost:11.0), the same process repeats: the X11 applications started early on run just fine for as long as I keep them open (days), but after a few hours I cannot start any new ones from that shell. Particulars: OpenSSH sshd server running on Ubuntu 8.04, display forwarded to a Mac running Lion (10.7.2) with the default Apple X server. The systems are connected on an Ethernet LAN with a single switch between them. Neither machine is running a firewall. Until recently (a few days ago) this setup worked perfectly so I am mystified as to where to look next. I am by no means an X11 or SSH expert but have good UNIX/Linux experience. Nothing obvious has changed in either client or server configuration although I have tried changing a few options to try to debug this, like setting sshd_config's TCPKeepAlive to no, and setting "host +localhost" (you can tel
