Does a simple X11 application like xclock works for you ?

Try using root.exe instead of root, but that won’t give you graphics either. Are you using ssh between two macs? From/to a Linux machine? It makes a difference.

No it does not work
Error: Can’t open display:

ssh between mac and ubuntu

What is your local machine? The mac or the ubuntu?

[Noor1]

local machine is mac

Do you have XQuartz installed, and are you using ssh -Y ubuntumachine?

[Noor1]

normally I use ssh between two Ubuntu machines and it works well.
what is XQuartz?? I don’t know!! should I install it on the local machine (mac)?

[couet]

XQuartz is X11 for Mac.
Mac computers do not have X11 installed by default.
You can download it from here.
