Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:

velociraptor · 05-23-2014, 05:46 AM

I am a user of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago).

My problem is: every time I would like to open the display, for example: nautilus, I always get message:
(nautilus:15097): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Even, if I have added '-Y' when I am executing ssh command (before starting the remote access), I will still get the same message.

I wonder what is the problem. Thank you.

Do you have an unusual locale? I couldn't see it in your question.

I'm sorry, I don't really understand what unusual locale means since I haven't got much experience with this.

However, maybe this piece of code will give more details to the problem? The xauth list is empty. Thank you.

[root@server1 ~]# xauth list
[root@server1 ~]# echo $DISPLAY
server1:11.0
[root@server1 ~]# nautilus
