Can't Open Display - X11 Forwarding - Cent OS
Trying to access X11
my CentOS 6 x32 small Linode VPS through SSH Putty/Xming (enabled X11 forwarding on options).
My windows machine is not the problem since it works with others CentOS Servers.
X11Forwarding is enabled on /etc/ssh/sshd_config
, still I can't get X11 forwarding.
I'm trying to get xclock
to work, but I get Can't open display :0.0
error.
I've also tried with different $DISPLAY values like :0
or :10.0
I've tried MobaXterm, and I get this message when connecting:
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
Here (Red Hat Login required) is a Tech Brief article from a fellow Red Hat consultant which discusses the minimum packages needed for X-Windows to work for SSH connections.
The key points are:
1) Install the following:
xorg-x11-xauth
xorg-x11-fonts-*
xorg-x11-utils
2) Enable the following in the sshd_config file
X11Forwarding yes
3) Use an appropriate X-Server on your desktop
Installed this package:
xorg-x11-xauth
Got solution from here.
Thanks for your help!
