Sorry to keep hacking away about this but I'm not getting the expected results. Does X11 have to be running on remote (linux) box? I mean if I'm on a windows machine with Xming running, in order to pull a gui gnus session to the windows machine does X have to be running on the linux machine? I ask because my original question was about how to do this when the remote linux machine is in console mode. When I attempt the connection in that situation I get an error on the linux remote if I try to connect to a running emacs daemon. Using putting to ssh to remote then: emacsclient -s nognus -c (where `nognus' is the daemons name) Waiting for Emacs... *ERROR*: Display 192.168.0.3:0 can't be opened The ip number there is the windows machines' static IP on home lan. As you see the display is set to it. If I start emacs separate from the daemon it just starts in -nw mode in the teminal on the remote. Maybe there is no way to do this without X running on remote? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
