Overview
The X Window System (also known as X11, or just X) is a software package and network protocol that lets you interact locally, using your personal computer's display, mouse, and keyboard, with the graphical user interface (GUI) of an application running on a remote networked computer.
May 02, 2017 About X11 for Mac X11 is no longer included with Mac, but X11 server and client libraries are available from the XQuartz project. Apple created the XQuartz project as a community effort to further develop and support X11 on Mac. While X11 would perfectly work before the sleep session to open new X11 applications, and while after waking from sleep X11 applications that were launched before sleep are still there and working (so the server is obviously still up), sometime X11 just refuses to launch newer X applications, with a shell message 'cannot connect to X display ?'. X11 is no longer included with Mac, but X11 server and client libraries are available from the XQuartz project. Apple created the XQuartz project as a community effort to further develop and support X11 on Mac. The XQuartz project was originally based on the version of X11 included in Mac OS X v10.5. X11 is a remote-display protocol used by Linux/Unix machines, including the Linux machines at Thayer. By running an X11 program (known as a server) on your computer, you can access graphical Linux programs remotely through an SSH client. In addition many.nix applications ported to macOS do not run natively under the macOS GUI and require X11.
You can use X forwarding in an SSH session on your personal computer to securely run graphical applications (X clients) installed on the Indiana University research supercomputers.
Requirements
For X forwarding in SSH to work, your personal computer must be running an X server program. The X server program manages the interaction between the remote application (the X client) and your computer's hardware.
Most Linux distributions have the X server installed, but if your personal computer is running Windows or macOS, you will most likely need to install and run an X server application. For example:
- For Windows, download and install Xming. For X forwarding to work, you'll need to start Xming before connecting to the remote system with your SSH client (for example, PuTTY).
- For macOS, download and install XQuartz. For X forwarding to work, you'll need to start XQuartz before making an SSH connection to the remote system. Once XQuartz launches, you can use X forwarding with SSH from the Terminal or from the
xterm
application in XQuartz.
Additionally, your personal computer's SSH terminal application must have X11 forwarding enabled:
- In Linux, the SSH terminal supports X forwarding by default.
- In macOS, you may need to edit your
ssh_config
file (typically found at/etc/ssh/ssh_config
or~/.ssh/config
) if you have trouble using X forwarding. Ifssh_config
includes#X11Forwardingno
(or justX11Forwarding no
), uncomment out the line (remove the leading#
), and change it toX11Forwarding yes
. - In PuTTY for Windows, you can enable X forwarding in new or saved SSH sessions by selecting Enable X11 forwarding in the 'PuTTY Configuration' window (Connection > SSH > X11).
Also, the remote computer's SSH application must be configured to accept X server connections. The IU research supercomputers all have SSH configured to allow X forwarding (trusted mode only).
Use SSH with X forwarding
Linux or macOS
To use SSH with X forwarding on your Linux or macOS personal computer to run an X client application installed on an IU research supercomputer:
- Open your SSH terminal client.
- On the command line, enter (replacing
username
with your IU username):- For Big Red 3:
- For Carbonate:
- For Karst:
- Log in with your IU passphrase.
To test if X forwarding is working, try running
xclock
; on the command line, enter: If X forwarding is working, the
xclock
graphical clock will appear on your personal computer's desktop.PuTTY for Windows
To use SSH with X forwarding in PuTTY for Windows:
- Launch your X server application (for example, Xming).
- Make sure your connection settings for the remote system have Enable X11 forwarding selected; in the 'PuTTY Configuration' window, see Connection > SSH > X11.
- Open an SSH session to the desired remote system:
System Hostname Big Red 3 bigred3.uits.iu.edu
Carbonate carbonate.uits.iu.edu
Karst karst.uits.iu.edu
- Log in normally with your IU username and passphrase.
To test if X forwarding is working, try running
xclock
; on the command line, enter: Xquartz For Mac

Use X forwarding for interactive sessions
On Carbonate or Karst
On Carbonate or Karst, if your interactive session requires:
- Less than 20 minutes of processor time: Connect via SSH with X forwarding enabled, and then launch the X client from the command line.
- More than 20 minutes of processor time: Submit a request for an interactive job via the batch system. To do so, connect via SSH with X forwarding enabled, and then:
- Use the TORQUE
qsub
command to submit an interactive job request. Add the-I
(for interactive) and-X
(for X forwarding) flags; for example (on Karst): - If the X client is not already added to your user environment, load the appropriate module; for example:
- From the command prompt, launch the X client; for example:
- Use the TORQUE
On Big Red 3
On Big Red 3, submit a request for an interactive job with X11 forwarding in the debug or general partition, and then launch your X application from a compute node:
- SSH to Big Red 3 with X forwarding enabled.
- On the command line, use the Slurm
srun
command with the--x11
flag to request an X11-enabled interactive session in the debug or general partition; for example:For more about using the Slurmsrun
command, see Use Slurm to submit and manage jobs on high performance computing systems. - Once you are placed on a compute node, you can launch graphical X applications (for example,
xterm
), as well as your own binaries, from the command line. Depending on the application and your~/.modules
file, you may need to load the module for the desired X client before launching the application.

XQuartz is an open-source version of the X.Org X server, a component of the X Window System (X11, or shortened to simply X, and sometimes informally X-Windows) that runs on macOS.[1] It formally replaced Apple's internal X11 app. The name 'XQuartz' derives from Quartz, part of the macOS Core Graphics framework, to which XQuartz connects these applications. XQuartz allows cross-platform applications using X11 for the GUI to run on macOS, many of which are not specifically designed for macOS. This includes numerous scientific and academic software projects.[2]
History[edit]
X11.app was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later included as a standard package for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. 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.[2]
X11 Server For Macos Windows 10
In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.4 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm.[3] 'Rootless' means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application (that is, not in a virtual desktop contained within another window). In Mac OS X Leopard, X11 was updated to use X.Org Server (X11R7.2) rather than XFree86.[4] The source code for X11 is available from Apple. Some source code is available under the Apple Public Source License while the bulk is licensed under the MIT License.
Current version[edit]
The current version of XQuartz is a DDX (Device Dependent X[5]) included in the X.Org Server and implements support for hardware-accelerated 2D graphics (in versions prior to 2.1), hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the macOS graphical user interface (GUI). As of version 2.7.11, XQuartz does not provide support for high-resolution Retina displays to X11 apps, which run in pixel-doubled mode on high-resolution displays.
