[uml-devel] UML remote GUI problems

[uml-devel] UML remote GUI problems

[Greg Furlong]

I am a final year student taking a degree in Computing at Dublin Institute of 
Technology - Ireland. In my final year project I am doing a project using User 
Mode Linux. My project has set out to research the capabilities of User
Mode Linux in a teaching environment. So far I have set up a server and now 
have users logging on from a terminal. They use a COW file so as not to 
corrupt the file system. Next I want to investigate and test the capabilities 
of User Mode Linux over a network using a Graphical User Interface. The 
problem that I am having is that I am finding it difficult to set up the GUI 
system. I was wondering if anybody could give me some pointers in the right 
direction or could tell me of a tutorial on how to set it up. I have already 
looked at the user mode Linux
website on sourceforge but have been unable to successfully complete the GUI 
instructions.

I am running Red Hat Linux 9 2.4.20-8
User mode Linux Patch 2.4.27-1
Remote Terminal Putty


Regards

Greg

Without knowing which are your difficulties? It's difficult.

What's the problem?

You must install Xnest inside your guest system... it will then be able to 
forward connection to another X system (on which you have to authorize TCP 
connections from the UML system). Then it should work, more or less.

On windows? well, there are also Xservers on Windows (the cygwin one for 
instance)...
