[opensuse] Display not working
We've just installed a new server. Normally I will use Xwindows on my PC or laptop, if I need to run any GUI's on a linux server. I just xhost +- on my desktop, export my display, and run the GUI. One of our support contractors, wants to ssh, from the console of the new server, to another linux server (both SLES9), and then export his display back to the console of the 1st server - but it does not work. (we did the xhost +- permissions on server 1) - what am I missing ?

If you are doing ssh, you need to enable X port forwarding (-X). -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) LinuxBrainDump, Linux HowTo's and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbrainddump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

xhost permissions, wow - a blast from the past. I'm not even sure that would work. The X11 display is automagically piggybacked on the ssh connection, so there's no need to go through that other rigamarole. It's a seamless 2 step process: 1. Connect via ssh to the remote server 2. Run the X11 app - it appears on your local display Just make sure the sshd configuration on the remote server is not rejecting the X11 connection. On our servers, the following line can be found in /etc/ssh/sshd+AF8-config X11Forwarding yes Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
