I'm losing my laptop, which I was using to build, run and hack CVS KDE. This was convenient because I could ssh to the laptop and get the benefit of using a stable KDE to work on an unstable KDE. But I may lose the laptop, so I'm trying to figure out a good way to get the same benefit. The HOWTWO for two KDE versions doesn't work for me.
My first thought was to create a chroot environment, as I have lots of disk space available. I've been playing with chroot this evening, chrooting from a 5.3 partition to an existing 4.11 partition. I can successfully start an X server in the chroot environment, so there's no problem there that I can tell. But what I really want is for the chrooted clients to connect to my running X server, so I'm not constantly switching displays back and forth. The problem I am having is that I keep getting a "Error: Can't open display: :0" message. I've tried setting the display to localhost:0 as well with no effect. Googling told me I needed to nullfs mount my /tmp directory so sockets would work, but that didn't fix the problem either. I've also did a "xhost +" to make sure I had permission. Does any one have any tips or suggestions on this? I can certainly live with using a separate display, but a single display would be more convenient.
