Please see #50. If that doesn't work for you, please check the output window dropdown for "Remote X11" and "Remove X11: SSH" to get logs for the error.

@joelspadin
Thanks for your reply,
I checked it, but I am still receiving the same error.
Here is what I am doing, and I appreciate your input and feed back.
on windows I have my ~\.ssh\config
to include

Host *
    ForwardAgent yes
    ForwardX11 yes
    ForwardX11Trusted yes

I then connect to server via ssh via ssh [email protected] then I open the vscode on windows and connect to the ubuntu via Remote-SSH Connect-to Host...
I have both Remove X11: SSH and Remove X11 enable.

can you please let me know how I can check the output window dropdown for "Remote X11" and "Remove X11: SSH" to get logs for the error.?

I still get Failed to get DISPLAY: Error: Running the contributed command: 'remote-x11-ssh.connect' failed.
in the output in the log extension host I have this information:

As noted at #50, Microsoft's remote SSH extension now supports X11 forwarding, so I do not plan to continue working on the SSH part of this extension. I suggest you disable my extension and check if the built-in X11 forwarding works for you. If it does not, use https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues to report the problem to Microsoft.
