Hi, 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?
Thanks, Tom
I believe you have to install a minimal X system for that to work. I just checked the software installed on my firewall and see "X Window System" is installed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
