On my remote machine $DISPLAY set as localhost:10.0 When i do ssh -X (or Y) user@remote_machine and try to run xclock, for example, i get the following error: _X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6010: Name or service not known Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 I have set 'X11Forwarding yes' in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and 'ForwardX11 yes' in /etc/ssh/ssh_config. Anyone else getting this?
