When trying to open an X application on a remote display, I am getting No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: 192.168.200.61:0
The "No protocol specified" message is bogus: the display is specified correctly*, and the same operation -- with exactly the same setting of DISPLAY -- was working yesterday. There's no problem with network connectivity between the two systems: ping and rlogin both work in either direction, and the specified X server is running and accepting connections. What does that message actually mean, and how do I fix it? * According to the X manpage, a non-empty hostname or IP address, separated from the display number by a single colon, specifies the use of TCP/IP communication protocol. BTW I get the same result using either the {ipaddress}:0 or the {name}:0 notation, and with or without a trailing .0; 192.168.200.61:0.0 and 192.168.200.61:0 both fail in the same way. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
