If you want to run Lazarus remotely then tunnel it over SSH. Hi Mark, yes I have seen several times such suggestions and yet I have no idea how to accomplish such a tunneling.... How could the Lazarus GUI appear in my Windows machine over SSH when Lazarus is running on a Raspberry Pi2? There must be some software running on the Windows box to accomplish that, right? I have tried to find various solutions such as an X client on Windows (or is it a server?) to display the desktop of RPi, but it seems like these are extremely difficult to install and are also not opensource. In any case after I installed one of the available X thingies on my Win7 PC I was totally unable to understand how to make it connect to the RPi, so I gave up and uninstalled it. TightVNC OTOH worked right out of the box so that is what I continue to use now, with the limitations. But then again X is probably not SSH either. The only SSH client I use (but I use it a lot) is PuTTY, through which I do all of my install chores on the Pi devices. But that is not a desktop GUI, only a terminal connection. My clipboard problems have mainly focused on copying lines of code from Lazarus into my newsreader on Windows so I could ask questions regarding coding. So the need varies with programming activity (now is a low activity time what with the holidays and a trip to Gran Canaria etc). -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
