Why does X11 forwarding not work in remote SSH?
Setting up X11 forwarding in ssh config as suggested in the closed #151 issue is not sufficient, because the “normal” (equivalent of) ssh -X doesn’t happen inside VS Code Remote; meaning, there is no local X11 socket on the remote side. You have to use something like wrobelda’s workaround and piggyback off an existing socket.
Why does SSH-X flag not work in Windows 10?
It’s probable that on your local system you’ve got DISPLAY=:0. Or if you haven’t, that’s what it’s being defaulted as. This instructs the local system to use the UNIX domain socket to communicate with the display.
Why does SSH-X not save my display variable?
When I try to set the DISPLAY variable it will accept it but when I attempt to run an x11 application is says: obviously [displaynamehere] was whatever I tried to set as the display, yet no display location seemed to work.

Why is my SSH not opening my display?
Not sure if it’s significant, but the remote debian is running on a beaglebone black. You shouldn’t point the DISPLAY variable to your own machine.

Why does SSH forwarding not work in VS Code remote?
A common scenario is having the server in a local headless VM. Setting up X11 forwarding in ssh config as suggested in the closed #151 issue is not sufficient, because the “normal” (equivalent of) ssh -X doesn’t happen inside VS Code Remote; meaning, there is no local X11 socket on the remote side.
How to configure X11 forwarding using SSH in Linux ostechnix?
Replace ” [email protected] ” with your remote server’s username and IP address. You will see the following warning message at first time. However, the .Xauthority file should be automatically generated during the first login, thus subsequent logins should be fine. Next, launch any GUI applications from this SSH session.
Why is X11 forwarding not working in integrated terminal?
If manually ssh to server in integrated terminal, x11 forwarding works fine. I think maybe DISPLAY variable is not set properly in the failure case. I logged in with regular ssh client, checked the DISPLAY variable it set automatically and added it by hand to my launch.json configuration: Works flawlessly.
