I am getting the following error message when using ssh to log into a remote machine:
gedit: cannot open display
I am using ssh in - Ubuntu 12.04.
You simply need to ssh to your remote machine with ssh -X
ssh -X -l root your-machine-name
Once Logged in you just start gedit or any other program of your choice from command line.
