I have a linux machine which I am accessing via ssh with a MacBook. I wish to be able to view some .png files. I have run ssh with the -X
option, edited ssh_config
with these lines:
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes
When I try running $display fileName.png
I get the error
display: unable to open X server ' @ error/display.c/DisplayImageCommand/426.
and if i run
$ DISPLAY=:0 display fileName.png
then it acts as if something is running in the terminal but I can't view the image.
I've also tried opening it with eog fileName.png
and get the error
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
ssh_config
on the machine you want to connect to, and usessh -X
on the machine you want to connect from, right? And you restartedsshd
after making the configuration changes? And you have X11 installed and open on the MacBook? – Fox Nov 1 '17 at 13:09eog fileName.png
is going to work if you are ssh-ed into a Mac. – RubberStamp Nov 1 '17 at 13:33
