I have a question for the list, what do I need to send x via ssh to my windows box?
I have a Mandrake 10 server running ssh and x, on my windows xp box, I am running putty with x11 forwarding on. However, I login fine but when I launch x as a normal user I get :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jebba]$ startx Authentication failed - cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership?xinit: Server error.
But, when I log in as root, and start x. It runs on the server.
Hopefully this makes sense? I am still very new to linux. What I'm a doing wrong?
Why aren't you just using VNC to have a session going on the server? It's easier to deal with, and well, free...
There are Xservers/Xclients for Winblows, but they can be a PITA...
IMHO.
