Xfowarding on Mac with XQuartz, but cannot seem to open Gtk programs


Code:
coop@coop:~$ sudo synaptic
[sudo] password for coop: 
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(synaptic:18615): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
coop@coop:~$ 

coop@coop:~$ sudo gparted

Basically, I cannot open GTK applications with xfowarding on mac. I'm assuning it has something to do with local host but I am not sure. Basic X programs like x clock work. So does firefox and even my xfce4-terminal.

The problem is due to DISPLAY and/or XAUTHORITY environment variables not being set for sudo. Try this fix.

Okay thanks I’ll try it. This is for the ssh client correct? I’ll restart the daemon afterwards for good measure
