Update xquartz mac terminal5/29/2023 ![]() I am working from memory and not sitting at my iMac. Anyhow, try executing these commands from Terminal on your Mac. I did not rebuild XQuartz, I just downloaded the latest release. To that file to enable X forwarding by default for all ssh sessions. Yes, as VikingOSX noted, it is quite old as software goes, which concerns me. You can also edit ~/.ssh/config and add: ForwardX11 yes No need to use the terminal app in XQuartz, which pretty much sucks. When you use ssh in Terminal.app simply include the -X option to enable X forwarding and your Mac will start XQuartz automatically. I'm assuming you mean "it would be great to do X11 forwarding from an ssh session started in Terminal.app to my running XQuartz server". It would be great to be able to x tunnel over ssh INSTEAD Apple are going to direct Mac users to download exactly what we have here: XQuartz, the source project for X11. I also want to address something you said in your question: ALSO NOTE: Apple are no longer going to provide X11 with Mac OS X It come with the Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion installer. Move the insertion point forward one character. Move the insertion point to the end of the line. Move the insertion point to the beginning of the line. This isn't something an Terminal application ever would, or ever should really, implement. Press and hold the Option key while moving the pointer to a new insertion point. If the X11 you install does not work properly, we recommend installing the XQuartz version. ![]() The XQuartz server you run on OS X simply gets you the missing X11 server you need on your OS X session to enable drawing the forwarded UI commands on your OS X desktop. do a software update to get the latest version. You just have to open up your X11 server's permissions and ssh tunneling and X11 forwarding on a Linux desktop seem to work. This isn't actually different for Mac from something like Linux, it's just that Linux, by default, is always running an X11 server for drawing your desktop so it's handled a little more gracefully than it is on the Mac. You need to be running an X11 server on your local machine to be able to have tunneled, graphical, X11 applications draw their UIs on your Mac. I restarted my computer after all was done. Which is to say: it isn't an X11 server at all. Installed Octave 3.8.1 via Homebrew which came with gnuplot 4.6. Terminal is no more an X11 server than gnome-terminal on Linux is or cmd on Windows is. It exists to provide a text-based communication end point between your Mac and other machines. The simple answer is: Terminal is a terminal emulator - it's not an X11 server. NOTE: Although the video doesnt mention it, it is highly recommended that you restart your computer after installing XQuartz and. ![]()
