Connect with ssh -X – muru Mar 03 '17 at 12:06
I already did ssh -X but it didn't work for me. – samricho Mar 03 '17 at 12:17
What are you running on the local system? – muru Mar 03 '17 at 12:18
@samricho then please [edit] your question and tell us. If you don't explain what you are doing, we will give you suggestions that you have already tried and waste your time (and ours). So, [edit] your question, explain how you are connecting, what operating system you are connecting from and what OS you are connecting to. – terdon Mar 03 '17 at 12:21
Look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote machine if X11Forwarding yes and X11DisplayOffset is set to any number. And after logging in, echo $DISPLAY. – ridgy Mar 03 '17 at 14:38
@ridgy it works for me.... – samricho Mar 07 '17 at 07:20
