I have just installed openSUSE 11.3 on a PC, basically did a minimal X install. However, when I ssh to this box with ssh -X<host>, I cannot run X applications, e.g. xterm. I get: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set
The problem is probably on the remote PC because I can use X forwarding from the same client to other remote hosts. Maybe a required package is missing? Any ideas? sounds like X is not running on the remote ?? AFAIK, you do not need X running on the remote station in order to run X applications forwarded to your local one. I have about 30 servers, all running on init 3 and I'm able (usually do not) to run X apps remotely on all of them. Just FYI, it may be handy for you...
