How to Remote display and put in specific desktop
Ok, time to call in the "Big BoyZ" (yup that's all of u).... How can I send a display to another machine and specify to be put on certain desktop? I've tried a combination of things using "display" and "kstart -desktop 2" and still displays it on the current desktop. Let's say.. I want to display an image from one machine to a second one, but on the second one I'd like it to go to desktop 2. Thanks, Jaime Escobedo
There can be serveral twists to this. But depending on how the remote desktop is layed out, you can have :0 or :1. There could also be diplays of :0.0 or :0.1 So first off I'd make sure of what your target is. Another thing would be if you're using ssh forwarding for X or just telnet. Configuring for this is different. -----Original Message----- From: Escobedo, Jaime HS [mailto:jaime.escobedo@hs.utc.com] Sent: Mon 10/30/2006 7:26 AM To: suse-kde@suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] How to Remote display and put in specific desktop Ok, time to call in the "Big BoyZ" (yup that's all of u)....

Just realized that "display" is our own custom utility that allows us to remote display not the standard one found in /usr/bin/display. But suppose I was to use ssh and the remote machine is layed out as :0 Hum, this might be more technical than I thought!!!

I think /usr/bin/display is a graphics display program to show you jpeg and such. But typically you'd do a export DISPLAY=machine_name:0 or :1 etc. Then run the X program and it should pop up on the other display. If it gives a permission denied and doesn't show up, you'll have to change the way X starts in the xinitrc or enable X forwarding in the ssh config files. If you need help finding these files I can probably help later. But to busy now and I don't remember off the top of my head. -----Original Message----- From: Escobedo, Jaime HS [mailto:jaime.escobedo@hs.utc.com] Sent: Mon 10/30/2006 4:19 PM To: Stout, Warren; suse-kde@suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-kde] How to Remote display and put in specific desktop Just realized that "display" is our own custom utility that allows us to remote display not the standard one found in /usr/bin/display.

/usr/bin/display is part of the Image Magick suite and is used for displaying and editing images. -- Blade hails you... I wish I had an angel For one moment of love --Nightwish
