I'm sorry people, I spent the day googling and I can't figure out how to
do this. I recently upgraded from 16.04, where I had it working, but for
the life of me I can't figure it out how.
Things I've tried:
I found some config settings and added them to
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
and that didn't work.
Tried creating /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with those configs and that
hung my display.
Even tried replacing X with a shell script that pruned the -nolisten tcp,
that worked but there was no listening tcp socket.
Help a boomer out, please!
Do you have the packages openssh-client and openssh-server installed?
For me, after installing those, it "just worked", and I can use
ssh -X user@host
(or -Y, depending on your network) and fire up X applications on <host>
for display on my own system, and vice versa.
Be aware that some applications mess with this: trying to start Firefox
on the remote host and assuming it will execute it there and display on
your screen doesn't work — instead it's your *local* FF binary that
executes. I don't know why it does this. FF has an option to force
remote execution (but I can't remember what it is, it's so long since I
ditched FF).
