Something that always works for me...but before that, remember that any application built with the X Library has this capability (very frequently in practice). All Linux GUI applications are based on the X Library (GTK+ and Qt are built on top of X library so GTK+ and Qt apps will also have the feature of remote display). Here's what you do: >From your local machine: $>xhost + $>telnet remotemachine On the remote machine: $>export DISPLAY=localmachine:0.0 $>Run your app After running your app, you should see the display on your localmachine.
If you want to export your app's display on a remote machine, then you need to: $>telnet remotemachine $>export DISPLAY=remotemachine:0.0 $>xhost + Now from your local machine, again do the following: $>export DISPLAY=remotemachine:0.0 $>Run Your App Substitute IP addresses/machine names qualified with domains for 'remotemachine' and 'localmachine'. Please go by Indranil's advice if the above doesn't work :-) Prashant On 5/26/05, Abhijit Banerjee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For all experianced people... > > How can I implement remote desktop in LINUX.
