I just tried to do `ssh -X houghi@pizza` and run `xterm`:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

echo $DISPLAY gives me an empty line. sshd_conf is the standard and
"X11Forwarding yes" is set. I have compared to another PC and the
sshd_config are identical.

One not working is 12.1. One working is 11.4.

Google told be already about ssh -Y wich gives the same result. X is
installed on it. IPv6 is off.

This is the first time I have an issue with this. Any ideas?

I found this one
The work-around is to set in `/etc/sshd/sshd_config', `X11UseLocalhost no'
The solution was found by googling around.

Maybe it helps
