Hi all,

I have followed Labs manual step by step and install all necessary software but I found the error as below:

//snip//

  • Labs 5.4

root@serv01:/etc/bind# ssh -X 192.168.1.3 xeyes
Error: Can't open display:

  • Labs 5.6
  • root@serv01:/etc/bind# vncviewer localhost:1

Anyone know the issue?

Thank you.

    Could you run vncserver -list on the server?

    Yes, I can run it.

    root@serv01:~# vncserver -list

    TigerVNC server sessions:

    X DISPLAY # RFB PORT # PROCESS ID
    :1 5901 4811 (stale)

    Please try as non-root. If you sudo then try to pop open an Xapp window it will fail.
