Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed X11.app by default, but from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users being directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which Apple contributes) instead.

Get X11 Forwarding In macOS High Sierra

I needed to forward X11 output from one of my Linux servers recently to run virt-manager (manager for virtual machines in KVM), and because it’s been a while I had to download and install X11 server again.

As some of you know, Xorg server is no longer shipped/installed with macOS by default. So you have to download it from XQuartz page: https://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html. Usually you do it, install it and that’s it – no additional steps are needed.

But things are slightly different for the macOS High Sierra, apparently.

The latest release hasn’t been updated since 2016 which I believe is before High Sierra – which explains why things don’t “just work” anymore. Fear not though – I tracked the issue down and it’s explained below.

UPDATE 03/2019: MacOS Mojave works just great, you may skip Step 3 in the procedure below.

Steps to get X11 Forwarding in macOS High Sierra

1. Download and install the latest release from xquartz.org website
2. Start XQuartz
3. IMPORTANT: verify xauth locationSSH configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config might contain path to xauth tool, which may be incorrect depending on your OSX/MacOS version. Here’s how to check:

if this returns nothing, you can skip to Step 4 below. If this gives you an output, compare it to the path from the next command:

Apple X11

If the locations differ, update the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file:

1. Connect to remote server using -X option which does X11 forwarding for SSH:[email protected]:~ $ ssh -X centos.unixtutorial.or
2. Check the DISPLAY variable, it should now be set correctly:

That’s it for today!
