  • RHEL7.4 Can't open display

    Posted on

    I am attempting to open an xwindow app ( like xterm) remotely on a newly built rhel7.4 Enterprise Linux Desktop machine.

    On the remote machine:
    export DISPLAY=newrhel74desktop:0
    xterm

    Return = xterm Xt error: Can't open display

    Have tried the obvious:
    xhost + ( on the newrhel74desktop machine)
    updated : in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    X11Forwarding yes
    X11DisplayOffset 10
    X11UseLocalhost no
