TITLE: Remote X LFS VERSION: any AUTHOR: Ron885 SYNOPSIS: This hint explains how to setup and and get working remote X. HINT: Setting up remote X is very simple. You need two computers... one will be called A and one will be called B. An X server needs to be running on A. To allow computer B to connect to computer A's X server, you need to run 'xhost +Bip' on computer A. Than you have to follow the directions based on how you are connecting to computer B. If you are using ssh and have 'ForwardX11 yes' in your config: You don't have to setup anything special, all you have to do is ssh into computer B from computer A and run the programs normally, the ssh will do everything for you. If you are using telnet or you can't put 'ForwardX11 yes' in your config: Make sure port 6000 is open on computer A. Telnet or ssh into computer B and type 'export DISPLAY=Aip:0'. Then you can just run programs like you normally would. If it works, you should see the program you ran display on computer A. Enjoy!
