 Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2002 7:44 pm Post subject: Xwindows |
 |
|
how do I make it so that Xwindows applications from other computers will work on my gentoo desktop? In windows I first run Xwindows, ssh to the remote machine, and then set my DISPLAY env var to the IP of my machine. When I run an Xwindows application it then pops up on my local screen. How do I get this same behaviour using Xwindows?
Thanks,
Mel |

Nop, not for me (I think it should)...
| Code: | ssh -X -l name remote_ip
export DISPLAY=local_ip:0
Xlib: connection to "local_ip" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
GTK-WARNING **: cannot open display local_ip:0 |
? ? ?

Ok, problem solved  . All I had to do was to run xhost +remote_ip and viola - working!

on your local host
Then ssh to your remote host and
| Code: | | xauth add /cookie/ ; export DISPLAY=/your display/ |
For example:
| Code: | nbensa@venkman nbensa $ xauth list
venkman.bensa.ar:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 335b1e6659335b0b3a663936605c5b59
venkman.bensa.ar/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 335b1e6659335b0b3a663936605c5b59
nbensa@venkman nbensa $ ssh zeddmore
nbensa@zeddmore's password:
Last login: Fri Jan 10 22:51:20 2003 from venkman.bensa.ar
nbensa@zeddmore nbensa $ xauth add venkman.bensa.ar:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 335b1e6659335b0b3a663936605c5b59
nbensa@zeddmore nbensa $ export DISPLAY=venkman.bensa.ar:0

I just use the command:
ssh -x username@remotehost.com
and I can use all the x applicaitions I want on the remote host and have them display on my machine (provided I have the program installed on my local machine). Is there some reason I don't know about as to why you use what appears to be a more complicated way?

yep, sure, there's a BIG reason for that much more complicated way...
... I forgot about X forwarding  |

The reason is: I forgot we were talking about SSH!!! I forgot X forwarding.
I think I need to clarify this: I used to use 'telnet' a lot and 'ssh' is like a new toy for me. I'm using Linux since two years ago, and I'm still learning a lot of things.
I'm sorry for the confusion.
Regards,
Norberto |
