xhost: unable to open display ""

[Waltz, James]

Hi-

I think that I have installed all the necessary packages, but I still get the above error, when I type “xhost +” on my local machine.

I am also still getting a “cannot open display: localhost:10.0” error.

This is DESPITE the fact that:
- I set DISPLAY to “localhost:10.0”
- X11Forwarding is set to “yes” in the sshd_config file
- I changed the “hosts” file, under /etc to have actual IP addresses.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks.
