The X Window System (X11, or simply X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems. X provides the basic framework for a GUI environment: drawing and moving windows on the display device and interacting with a mouse and keyboard. X does not mandate the user interface – this is handled by individual programs. In X11 parlance, the X11 server is the software that handles communications and renders client content. The X11.app that you run on your Mac is the server. X11 applications on. To Paste between an X11 app and a Mac OS X app, in the X11 file menu, select Edit Copy and then select Edit Paste in the Mac OS X app menu. X11 Customization and PATH export: To have the scrollbar automatically appear when a new xterm window is created from the X11 menu (and to perhaps source the shell files so that PATH's are kept, etc).

Up to Mac OS X 10.7, Apple was including the X11 app with the OS. Since OS X 10.8 this is not the case anymore, see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201341. If you want to use X11 under OS X 10.8 and newer, you have to download and install XQuartz from https://www.xquartz.org/.

To be compatible with recent X11 libs on the linux side we recoomend to use XQuartz version 2.7.10 or newer.

X11 Connection Expiring

Programs

Since Mac OS X 10.7 (?) the ssh has a very short timeout value for untrusted X11 forwarding ('ssh -X'). As a result the X11 connection expires 20 minutes after you connected to the remote host. If you suffer from expired X11 connections you should add the line

ForwardX11Timeout 168h

to the 'HOST *' or 'HOST lxplus' section of the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config (/etc/ssh_config for OS X up to 10.10.x) or ~/.ssh/config. Alternatively you can use 'ssh -Y'.

When you receive messages like the following
