Hello,
I have a zeppelin running on Ubuntu. Then access the zeppelin from a Windows machine, via Chrome.

There is a XManager running on the Windows machine, which will display Ubuntu apps like gedit, firefox by setup:
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.42:0.0

After trying all the solutions above, always hit error:
The XManager seems not connected.

TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

Appreciated if any advice.
