[Bug 434799] Re: X11 forwarding via SSH does not work after upgrade to karmic

[edvar]

I'm having the exact same problem after upgrading to Karmic. I've used
Ubuntu since Feisty and this is the first time I ever experienced
problems with X forwarding on SSH. It worked fine on Jaunty. Basically
I'm experiencing the same issues as reported:

$ env | grep DISPLAY
$ echo $DISPLAY
$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
