A useful technique for debugging this sort of thing is to use the -v flag to
ssh; so ssh -X -vvv user@hostname will give you a detailed log of what
happens, including the attempts to set up an X11 propxy, and perhaps why
they failed.

No.

/etc/ssh/sshd_config , change the line that says "X11Forwarding no" to say
"X11Forwarding yes". Or add a line that says "X11Forwarding yes" if no such
line exists.

itself recalcitrant to a tidy formula embodying the hopes of some section of
mankind. (Russell)
