Re: [ilugd] Using Graphical Interface using ssh on networked machines
You could use something called SSH X Forwarding... I forget the exact name right now. The good-ol' method is: host1$ xhost +host2 host1$ ssh host2 host2$ export DISPLAY=host1:0 host2$ gimp Hope you get it... mail back if you want a detailed explanation.

If you do this: host1$ xhost +host2 host1$ ssh host2 host2$ export DISPLAY=host1:0 host2$ gimp It might work (if the X server on host1 accepts TCP connections, which is now becoming increasingly unlikely), but it wouldn't be using ssh X forwarding, it would use a direct TCP connection to host1:6000. If you want to use ssh to forward X traffic, you should let it set the DISPLAY for you (and it'll set it to something like localhost:10.0). Then it forwards data to the server so that it sees the connection as being from (its) localhost, which is why the xhost is unnecessary. -- ams ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
