For example, if you use KDM to start your X session then you have to change ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp to ServerArgsLocal= in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. If you can confirm that your server is listening on port 6000 then you probably should check if you have a local iptables rule that blocks connections to this port. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- Hi Florian,
I double checked kdmrc and xserverrc, and these must be right. I have ServerArgsLocal= and -nolisten TCP removed from xserverrc. Unfortunatly I have forgotten to run your cli commands, removed KDE and installed Gnome, still not functioning.... ( I am going to reinstall it) But I couldn't wait I have tested the local function from 2 other pc's Etch + Gnome = OK Slackware + KDE = Ok there was no need to modify kdmrc ! The pleasant surprise: in my local-X I have not only the webrowser where I can choose a streaming, and the VLC console pops up on my local host as a child of the browser window ! So what is working: Remote: old portable Pentium II 66Mhz 96 Mb Ram Debian Lenny + JWM + sound card. Local in xterm: xhost + telnet to Remote export Dispalay > Konqueror + VLC Many Thanks, I am going to try the Lenny / KDE later Dieder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
