X11 forwarding to Mac does not work
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm running a Ubuntu server in VMWare. And I would like to forward the X11 from the Ubuntu guest to the Mac host.
I've installed XQuartz 2.7.9 (xorg-server 1.17.4) on the Mac host.
And SSH forwarding on the Ubuntu is enabled.
Then I tried the following in iTerm:
%> echo $DISPLAY
/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.mjxVyILVrR/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
%> ssh -X root@xxxx
# echo $DISPLAY
# gnome-terminal
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display
$DISPLAY is empty, and X11 forwarding is not working.
Any ideas?

Make sure you have xauth installed at both sides, try adding the -Y flag to the ssh command

@TimFletcher/usr/bin/xauth: file /root/.Xauthority does not exist, weird. It actually exists with permission 0600

Could there be restrictions on xforwarding for root?
