    Hello Everyone,

    can anyone let me know how to resolve the problem below.

    When I try to log into a remote pc and try to bring an appilcation's GUI on my Desktop by setting my Desktop's ip in the DISPLAY variable I get an error message saying

    (Application) initialization failed: couldn't connect to display : desktop IP

    thanks

    first disable the access control in your machine as:

    Code:
    xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
    and then export the DISPLAY IP at remote host, and then try opening the GUI application. It should open without issue.

    Code:
    X11Forwarding yes
