#What is xquartz on mac mac#

echo $DISPLAYДЄnd you should see the following /private/tmp/.0aQYNoXMFK/org.xquartz:0 Of course the export might work, but there is no harm in doing the above. cp /Users/normal user/.Xauthority /var/root/ Xauthority file is already there, but this would over right it. Then copy your '.Xauthority' at '/Users/normal user/.Xauthority' to '/var/root/'. The same you found in your normal user account. Now if you want to try the same as root (Please don't jump on me guys, I know some of you all are strongly against root access), but if does not work then in your root prompt do the following export DISPLAY=/private/tmp/.0aQYNoXMFK/org.xquartz:0

private/tmp/.0aQYNoXMFK/org.xquartz:0ДЄnd now you know that your display is working Anyway you all would see something similar in your systems. Then what you would get is something like the following (It is the case in your hand).

So in your mac if you type as a normal user echo $DISPLAY Probably the following solution might not work in your case, but give it a try if what you were trying is similar to what I have tried.ДЄs you have already found one has to find the DISPLAY variable first. You want to access your machine running Ubuntu remotely from your mac and when you 'ssh' into your Ubuntu and when you try to 'echo $DISPLAY' you get an empty response.
