getting x11 forwarding to work with ssh

[Marvin Thielk]

Hi,

I've set config.ssh.forward_x11 = true in my vagrant file but $DISPLAY doesn't seem to be set on my VM and any X11 app doesn't work.

What should I do to get x11 forwarding working.

Thanks,

~Marvin

vagrant@precise64:~$ xclock &

[1] 1151

vagrant@precise64:~$ Error: Can't open display:

vagrant@precise64:~$ echo $DISPLAY

[1]+  Exit 1                  xclock

One extra thing you need to check is your .ssh/config file if you have any and enable X Forwarding

Host *

   ForwardAgent yes

   ForwardX11 yes

kind regards

I don't have any .ssh/config file

I'm running in windows (7) so I made a.ssh/config file and added 

Host *

   ForwardAgent yes

   ForwardX11 yes

but it didn't make a difference

what do you use to ssh to your boxes? if it is putty then you need to configure it accordingly to the tool you use probably

vagrant ssh

what I completely forgot about was having an x-window system like cygwin installed on my host. -_-

Not ideal, but "vagrant ssh -- -Y" also works.

Thanks,

I had a problem with this on Mac OSX 10.9. I didn't realize that X11 needed to be installed on my local machine. For anyone who's searching, install this http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ and try again with vagrant ssh.
