Still waiting for answers to my prior questions.

Still waiting for answers to my prior questions.

Wow, I overlooked it. Just to be clear, am I running this from another machine:

"ssh -X username@server xterm -sb &"

I don't have another linux box.

Can you directly connect to your remote system using X11-forwarding?

ssh -X username@server xterm -sb &

Give it upto 2 minutes for the xterm to be displayed on your local Linux workstation.
If that doesn't work and the xterm program exists, we need to look at other issues.

This post is a little confusing to me. Am I just starting a new session on Windows with the mobaxterm and typing in that command you mentioned? Or are there additional steps involved?

Thanks

The local machine must run a local X/server and support ssh w/ x11-forwarding.

Any Linux/Unix workstation with X does. You can run a tiny Linux (16MB) distro for this (booted or inside a VM), if you don't have it on Windows. 20+ yrs ago, this was possible on Windows using a commercial X/Server. I found it more hassle than just running a small VM with tinycore linux, which provided a better overall experience and better X/Server for free.

Anyway, solve it however you like. If ssh -vvv works well, then ssh -X should too. If not, there probably are some missing configs that x2go needs too.

So I ran the command from a centOS VM that I forgot about and I got the result attached.

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Ran the command via moba and nothing happened.

Anyone else have ideas on where to look for a fix?

I had a similar problem. After a short downtime, the session freezes.
I solved this problem by disabling the screensaver and turning off the screen in the power settings and removing the xfce4-screensaver package (sudo apt remove xfce4-screensaver and reboot).
