  • Connect with `ssh -X` – muru Mar 03 '17 at 12:06
  • I already did ssh -X but it didn't work for me. – samricho Mar 03 '17 at 12:17
  • What are you running on the local system? – muru Mar 03 '17 at 12:18
  • @samricho then please [edit] your question *and tell us*. If you don't explain what you are doing, we will give you suggestions that you have already tried and waste your time (and ours). So, [edit] your question, explain how you are connecting, what operating system you are connecting from and what OS you are connecting to. – terdon Mar 03 '17 at 12:21
  • Look at `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` on the remote machine if `X11Forwarding yes` and `X11DisplayOffset` is set to any number. And after logging in, `echo $DISPLAY`. – ridgy Mar 03 '17 at 14:38
  • @ridgy it works for me.... – samricho Mar 07 '17 at 07:20
