I have installed cluster-SSH on my ubuntu 10.04 server, it has a dependency of xterm_261-1_amd64.
when i try to
$cssh localhost
it says

ocpe@blrkec241933d:~$ cssh localhost

connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory

and when i try to open xterm it says.

ocpe@blrkec241933d:~$ xtermconnect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory



xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0

Is it coz ubuntu server does not have any UI???? . I just log into it through putty from my windows machine and work.
i dont have any idea, if at all i can fix it.. plz help.

You are right: the problem is your Ubuntu Server doesn't have a GUI (or specifically, an X server)

Cluster-SSH is designed to use multiple xterms, which is only possible if an X server is running locally; if you are running cluster-SSH over SSH itself, then you'd need X forwarding enabled.

Setting up an X server in Windows isn't easy, and in any case, cluster-SSH with its multiple terminals wouldn't be very responsive if forwarded over the Internet.
