Post #207,076 by broomberg 5/12/05 9:51:02 AM Reply	Nope, X is running. I have no problem sshing to another box via the xterm and getting the display back. But neither terminal.app or iterm provide the DISPLAY variable (even when using -X). Also, how could they. Neither could execute local X apps as well.
Post #207,077 by boxley 5/12/05 9:58:38 AM Reply	when using ssh -X on my solaris box I ssh -X boxley@ipaddy get a nice little box. echo $display, returns blank /usr/X/bin/xclock, returns a nice lttle clock to my desktop. I think ssh handles the addressing, lets look in sshd_config 11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 so my display would be mylocalIP:10.0 hope that helps thanks, bill All tribal myths are true, for a given value of "true" Terry Pratchett [link\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/] Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 48 years. meep questions, help?

But if you are coming from an OS-X 10.4 box, maybe you have something set differently from mine that allows it to work. So, from the beginning: Are you currently on a OS-x 10.4 box?
Post #207,099 by boxley 5/12/05 11:45:11 AM Reply	I do not assume you know any "baby steps" and have found out that I quite often dont know baby steps and find it useful in some of these threads. Now one more have you done sshIntobox$ ./xclock -display boxIamreallyon:thesSettingOfXdisplayOffset.0 what happens when you do that? No I use an older version of OSX thanx, bill All tribal myths are true, for a given value of "true" Terry Pratchett [link\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/\|http://boxleys.blogspot.com/] Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 48 years. meep questions, help?

Post #207,102 by broomberg 5/12/05 12:10:16 PM Reply	Sneaky #1 - create an a real xterm - ssh into target system. #2 - echo $DISPLAY - this will change on every session going in. #3 - launch iTerm. #4 - from iTerm, ssh in to the same target box. #5 - set the DISPLAY to the above one listed. #6 - xcalc - works. I guess it is a usable one-of-kludge - but not something I would be willing to do on an ongoing basis. I could setup a script to be executed on login. If the DISPLAY value is set, save it. If it is not, then use the last saved one (assuming it is from an active "correct" connection) (dangerous!) Thanks.
