i connected to a Server which is using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (x86_64). I have just installed xCrySDen on the Server. I want to open it with a graphic user interface when i use a ssh client( F-Secure ssh client ) to connect to the server.

When i use F-Secure ssh client in Windows 7, login in the server, then start xCrySDen, it failed with the following text:

Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Error in startup script: can't read "xcrys(platform)": no such variable while executing "if { $xcrys(platform) == "windows" } { # testing ... rename exec _tcl_exec

proc exec {args} { global env

# first try a normal exec..." (file "/home/users/abc/software/XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-semishared/Tcl/cygwin.tcl" line 19) invoked from within "source $system(TOPDIR)/Tcl/cygwin.tcl" (file "/home/users/abc/software/XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-semishared/Tcl/xcInit.tcl" line 433)

then, i tried the command xlogo, it said: Error: Can't open display:

When i use Putty( another ssh client) in Windows 7, enable the X11 forwarding in Putty, it still couldn't open the graphic user interface.

But when i used Ubuntu10.04, open the terminal, and use the following command: ssh -l abc -p 222 111.111.111.111 -X, and then after i login into the server and start xCrySDen, it works, i can see the application's graphic user interface. i want it works correctly when the clients' OS is Windows. Can you help me? Thx a lot !!!! Did you install a X-server software for windows (e.g. from cygwin) ? Windows (not matter which flavor) needs additional Software to display

Hello, the X11 output. Once you 've installed and started it, you need to tell your ssh client to forward X11 and it should work. Regards, Dieter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help@opensuse.org
