This is not normal. DISPLAY needs a value. If ssh is not assigning one, there is probably something wrong with either ssh at the near end or sshd at the far end.when i ssh and am on the remote host, and i echo the DISPLAY i get nothing. but i thought this was normal since i'm using the X flag with ssh.
Try again. From the ssh command-line on the remote machine, the correct value of DISPLAY should be <remotehost>:10.0, NOT <localhost>:0.0 AS YOU HAVE SHOWN HERE. Here are a couple of diagrams to make my point...when i set export the display=<localhost>:0.0 & then run xeyes then i get the following message Xlib: connection to "<localhost>:0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: <localhost>:0.0
