xdosemu and ltsp. X problem: permission denied

[Fajar Priyanto]

Hi all,
I have setup ltsp environment and run dosemu in it.
It runs well and it can accommodate the need of F drive and multi user (by 
putting the application in a separate directory, and then make a softlink 
from each user's home. Printing from the client is ok too.

However, I encounter problem when try to run xdosemu from the ltsp client. 
It's regarding:
1. The keyboard layout. Dosemu said that I must specifically state it. So I 
did, using the 'us' layout. Dosemu is happy again.
2. The font. It said: 
You don't have the Dosemu vga font installed and are running remote X. You 
need to install the vga font on your _local_ Xserver. Look at readme for 
detail.

Ok, so I uncommented the font section in the X:
$_X_font = "vga"

But the problem persists:
Error:X: Unable to open font "vga", using builtin X
Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource 
denied).

I have tried xhost +, but no good.

Please help me, any clues are appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same problem, but I use ssh not ltsp. I used ssh -x and 
xdosemu -c and it worked.
I hope this will help you

Hi Gustavo,

Can you explain it better? I also want to run xdosemu from a ssh client.

I read the man and made some tests and it works more or less:

1) ssh -X is needed to get remote X access (you sais "-x"?), but 
"X11Forwarding yes" must be enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Is there 
anything else?

2) there is something about a DISPLAY variable that I could not 
understand and that is not always needed.

3) keyboard configuration using keyb is not working...

thanks for any help,
Alain
