I would like to run an x-server on a separate virtual console (control+alt+f12), open an x-term there, ssh to the server, and start gnome. That should give me access to two different machines on two virtual consoles (my local machine on ctrl+alt+f7 and remote machine on ctrl+alt+f12).
This approach is explained on http://www.linux-tip.net/cms/content/view/302/26/ I tried to follow instructions in this article. The main operative steps are as follows #Start an x-server on virtual console 12. I am able to do it though #only by becoming root. X :12.0 vt12 2>&1 >/dev/null & #Start x-term on virtual console 12 and make an ssh connection. This #command does not work for me. xterm -display :12.0 -e ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would someone be able to say what is wrong with this? I am trying to do it on my ubuntu machine.
