I have an Ubuntu 16 server deployed on a remote machine. I am connecting via ssh and what I want to accomplish is to open a new terminal using the gnome-terminal command. I want to to do this because I have a python script that executes this command and needs a second terminal for a process it spawns. The error message I get is

Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Is there any way around this?
