Getting the error "cannot connect to X server" when attempting to run graphical programs. I am using XQuartz locally on my mac, and ensured that xauth is installed on my droplet. I modified /etc/ssh/sshd_config to include "AllowTcpForwarding yes" and "X11UseLocalhost yes" I get this error "cannot connect to X server" both thru the droplet console access screen, as well as when using "ssh -X user@ipaddress" Am I missing something basic? Thanks a million!
