Hi,
I would like to use one of my V210's as an application server however,
there is an issue while using X11 forwarding.
I have enabled X11_forwarding under /etc/ssh/sshd_config however,
whenever I try to start an application from my x86 box remotely using:
ssh -X or ssh -Y
I get presented with "cannot connect to X server".
I guess that I will need to have the X server enabled on both client and
server machines however, since my V210 doesn't have a GPU only the
serial console what are my options?
Not necessarily but you will need some of the X libraries installed so
you have xhost and similar. I don't recall which packages are needed
(they may be included in the suggested packages for openssh) but
installing xterm was sufficient last time I ran into a problem like
this.
I routinely run headless on several architectures, but have held off
commenting since I'm on comparatively old versions of Linux (Etch
through Squeezy) and don't have recent Sun hardware. I normally install
the KDE variant of Debian, then install ssh, gdm (since its XDMCP
support works, might need a tweak in the config file), xterm and a VNC
server; that allows me to use a local console (if one exists), remote X,
X over SSH, or VNC. As they say, "it just works".
