Hello,
Back when I did this for a living I used to remotely display all kinds of X
applications to my local desktop. I always thought that functionality was built into the
X-Server. I can't seem to make it happen. I have a number of workstations connected to a
KVM and I have my good keyboard connected to them. Now I have this new BLFS workstation I
am building and I want to run all the build processes on that system but use my normal
desktop and keyboard. I have killed the firewall, run xhost +, and have been trying to
run firefox and xterm from the BLFS system and display the windows on my other desktop.
All I get is errors. For example when I run 'xterm -display stender3:0' I get:
"xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: stender3:0". Once again either something
has changed or I am missing some simple but key factor. Seems to me I used to remotely
display an entire desktop but that may have been when all I had was an X-terminal. When I
tried that I got display in use errors. If anyone can point me in the right direction I
would appreciate it. Thanks in advance. I didn't say it before but I killed the firewall
and ran xhost + on stender3 where I expect to see the xterm pop up. From what I can find
in man pages and on the web it looks like it should still be possible.

So, you want to set up a connection from your desktop (the screen server) to
your BLFS system (the screen client)?
Did you allow X11 forwarding on your client? Check with grep X11
/etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/.ssh/*grep
Then connect with ssh -Y <your login>@<your client> and start an app.
(this is the way I do with my iMac as server)

OK, I think I am losing or maybe have lost my mind. A couple days ago
Bruce gave me a long post with detailed instructions on how to work
through my remote display problem. Some how, some way, I have managed to
lost it before I got around to doing it. I have been up on the archive
and have searched for the "remote display" subject. I see a number of
posts from different people on a lot of different subjects from this
month but not my posts or any of the reply posts from Bruce, Pol or
anyone else. Is there a time delay before the posts go to archive?
Bruce, If you would be so kind, could you please resend that detailed
set of instruction?
I sort of got pulled off of this problem for a while because for a while
because of self inflicted problems my BLFS system became UN-bootable. I
have that fixed now but have come up with a bunce of different questions
which I will post with new threads. Thanks a bunch for being here.
