I'm trying to use Remote X11 to show some images from server using python. After I installed it, the output is below:

Remote X11 (SSH) says: Connecting to work@192.168.24.179 port 22 Error: Timed out while waiting for handshake

Remote X11 says: Setting up display for remote "ssh-remote". Connecting with SSH. See Remote X11 (SSH) logs for more details. Error: Running the contributed command: 'remote-x11-ssh.connect' failed.

How to solve it? Thanks.

That generally means it wasn't able to connect to that address and port. Either the address is incorrect or the remote device blocked the connection.

The official remote SSH extension now has support for X11 forwarding. The first thing I'd try is disabling my extension and following https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/main/remote-release-notes/v1_54.md#ssh to see if that works.

Thanks, I'll try your method first.
