Re: [gentoo-user] Launching X.org through ssh
I solved it setting X11forwarding to true, so now it goes all right !!! Thanks !! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Launching X.org through ssh
Hi, I'm connecting from a computer (remote computer) to a server (sshd, it is running apache2 too, but it doesn't matter right now), and I can connect through ssh to it, and run every command all right, but launching X.org. If I try a startx command, it will start X.org in the local computer, and I'd like to run it into the remote computer, as you would do with RDP for example. Thank you, Rafael Fernandez Lopez. -- A la vista de suficientes ojos todos los errores resultan evidentes - Linus Torvalds -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When you run an X program (client) on the remote box, it connects to your local X server so you see the remotely running client on your local display. But the X server itself is, as the name suggests, a server for X, not a client. You should look into VNC (there are a number of versions in portage), or maybe freeNX. In my experience, freeNX gives better performance, but VNC is easier to set up, especially if you connect via ssh (as you should). FreeNX is usually used to forward single applications, not whole desktops, but recent versions can also forward whole desktops. (It can even connect to VNC sessions.)

You'd need to use vnc or nx I believe. -- Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://arcterex.net Backups are for people who don't pray. -- big Mike -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You must have a xserver (X.org) running on your computer, and with X11forwarding enabled, you can run graphical (X) programs on a remote box. You can even, start a DE (kde, gnome, fluxbox, etc...)
