Mythtv backend

[Merv Curley]

I hope I am getting somewhere.

I have followed the Ubuntu install instructions as suggested by Aaron Vegh.  
But since I have never tried to ssh to another computer, I am stopped at 
configuring the backend using  this computer with X installed.

Here is where I am, logged on to the backend computer.

 ssh merv-Q0ErXNX1RuZALGUKhjNAFw at public.gmane.org  [ the backend ]
The authenticity of host '192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is c3:8e:98:40:1c:49:dd:5b:d3:21:32:8c:28:6d:80:bc.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Warning: Permanently added '192.168.0.2' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

I don't imagine this is any probem.  now I supply the password and I am logged 
on.  So I try;  sudo mythtv-setup.

mythtv-setup: cannot connect to X server

I read the suggested page at Gentoo-wiki but that didn't clear my grey cells 
since, it suggests  -

X11Forwarding needs to be enabled on the sshd server.

I checked the file on the backend computer and 'X11 forwarding yes'  ...

Next the wiki suggests restarting  sshd but it isn't in /etc/init.d. ,  Is 
that my problem? I did install the openssh-server package and ssh is there 
but not sshd.
      On this computer I have openssh-client but not the server installed.

Further on,  the wiki states to check $DISPLAY and on the backend it is blank. 
On this 'X' machine it is   :0   On the backend machine I typed
export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0  as suggested but $DISPLAY still comes up blank 
when I check from the logged on machine.

Did I give enough details?  Seems to me in the distant past I went through 
this  $DISPLAY thing.  Maybe why I have never succeeded at logging on and 
running pgm's on another system.

Help?
