Hi,

after updating Ubuntu 14.01 to Ubuntu 16.01 xenial with KDE 4.14 I get this terminal error :

root@PC-Ubuntu:/home/user/test# ./TEST
Failed to open X11 display; make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly
 

If i run the code in Eclipse the window open correctly.

Some additional Informaion:
root@PC-Ubuntu:/home/user/test# echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

root@PC-Ubuntu:/home/user/test# grep X /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes

Any idea how to fix?
