Re: [LUG] Remote X

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys but i'm not 100% sure we're quite on the
right track of what i'm trying to do!

As far as the windows side of it goes, i DO have extra software installed
quite nicely. NX Client. Works an absolute treat when i connect to my
desktop machine and according to windows control panel takes up a mere
9.36MB.

The bit i'm struggling with is how to set up the x server environment on
my server without a keyboard, mouse and screen attached.

As one of you said, i could do it the other way round, have the xserver at
the windows end using cygwyn and just remote the apps on the server but
the last time i had cygwyn running under windows it took up 100's of mb's
which i didn't really consider to be thin client fodder :)

Any thoughts on the server setup then?

Thanks,
Martin.

You don't even need that - just add your ip to the
.Xauthority file and set the --display option when you
start the remote app.

ssh -X is nice secure way of doing it though and sets up the authority
and display in one.

You can just:

ssh -X user@host

... and then run the X clients and they'll jsut appear, not --display
or anything.
