Hi can someone tell me how do i conneext to my friends linux bo and run X from there! thanks! BOB
Hi There is VNC, that is kind-of-X, but not the real-thing. You can run all the KDE stuff at least, but the desktop is not there... SSH to Your friends computer, and start "vncserver", or ask Your friend to start it. It will stay on background. (remember to run vncpasswd before to set the password). Then in Your box, start graphical session (x-session), then open a text-terminal window, and run "vncviewer <friends ip or URL> :1" Usually the number is one, because Your frien probably has graphics already open in :0 It will tell You if it can connect or not. You can try :0 or :1 and so on.. until You get the correct number. And ofcourse the firewall rules must pass the traffic.. I don't remember the ports, but you can see it in /var/log/firewall if it blocks Your access. Jaska. Viestissä Sunnuntai 23. Joulukuuta 2001 22:42, Bob B kirjoitti:

You don't even need vnc. Just be in X on your machine, open an xterm, ssh to your friend's machine, enter the name of the X program you want to run in the ssh-xterm, "et-voila" the X-program on his machine will be displayed on your screen.
Hi doing the ssh seems to take a bit more bandwidth than vnc, so it needs a good connection, like 2-channel ISDN or better... Jaska. Viestissä Maanantai 24. Joulukuuta 2001 01:42, zentara kirjoitti:

It's also a bit more secure. :) If he's trying to run something that might involve a passwd or anything of the sort..I would recommend the ssh route. If both machines were on a lan behind a firewall..I wouldn't care. :) Cheers! -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
