| Re: [PLUG] EXTERNAL: Remote KDE Session |
When it comes to Linux I am clueless... However I am guessing that you need to do a... xhost + to permit that window to appear on your client. Again, I am guessing here... -----Original Message----- From: plug-bounces@lists.phillylinux.org [mailto:plug-bounces@lists.phillylinux.org] On Behalf Of Casey Bralla Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 5:44 PM To: PLUG@lists.phillylinux.org Subject: EXTERNAL: [PLUG] Remote KDE Session Listening to the "teaser" about the upcoming talk on "screen" at PLUG last night got me very excited about its capabilities. Lter, I got to thinking about an X-window version of screen, and then jumped to the conclusion: Why not just run KDE remotely? My basement server runs KDE all the time, adn I can successfully vnc into it and run a remote desktop. However, I'd much rather run a native (albeit remote) KDE session on my main computer since the window size would match my main screen and the display would look crisper. In other words, I want to have a full KDE desktop on my local computer, but actually running on the remote computer. So I ssh'd into my remote machine, and ran "startx -- :1" to spawn a new X window environement which I hoped would show up on my main (remote) screen. No good. it did seem to spawn a new X, but not on my local machine. I also tried "startkde" but got an error message "$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server." Unfortunately, DISPLAY is set, and even if I changed it, I could not get KDE to start remotely. Anybody have any suggestions? -- Casey Bralla Chief Nerd in Residence The NerdWorld Organisation http://www.NerdWorld.org ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
