Please Help me with this.Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Connect to your CentOS machine with ssh -Y which (per man ssh)

Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

That will allow your Tk process to connect to X11 on your Ubuntu machine.
