Remote X

Remote X

[Juan Facundo Suárez]

 Hi all.

 I am trying to set up a remote X conection. And i am reading about XFree86.
I will tell you what i understood, and you tell me if i am wrong.
 I did some tests in my pc. i have started two or more Xfree86 server like
this:

 $:XFree86 :(a) vt(b)

 and after that, run wmaker like this:

 $:wmaker -display :(a)

 and it worked fine. I think i can do something like this, but running
wmaker in another pc on my lan, like:

 $:wmaker -display 192.168.0.1:(a)

 where 192.168.0.1 is the ip from machine where i started XFree86. I think
this shoud start wmaker any pc from my lan, working in host 192.168.0.1. Is
this correct?, or need to change something?. what is it?.

 Besides, i know about VNC. I have tried it, and it is great how it works
windo$/linux platforms crossover. But, if you know about any other way to
make remotes X sessions, please, tell me. I will ask you, too, about any
window$ X client to work with Xfree86, if there is any.

 Thaks !!

That's correct.  The only step you left out, is you need to tell the
XServer to allow the remote computer to display on the XServer, with xhost.

For example:

host1$:XFree86 :(a) vt(b)
host1$:xhost +host2

host2$:wmaker -display host1:(a)

RE: Remote X

[Juan Facundo Suárez]

Hi, i could do it. I am really happy about that.

 Now, what i need is to connect a window$ machine, as an X server, to a
session / window manager on a remote linux machine. I have heared about
cygwin / winx32. I am trying cygwin, but i dont understand how to set it up,
to use it, as an X server. Running the cygwin application, it opens
something too much like an "xterm". I can run many linux commands in there.
I tried to "XFree86" or "startx" commands, but nothing. Have i install an x
server on cygwin to make it work?. Any help?.

 Besides, i will try xwin32 too. If anyone can tell me something to "take
care" for using it, or any help, i will be very thaks.

 See you !

I've never done this, so I don't have much info for you.  But the one
thing I can think of, is you might want to make sure you are using
cygwin/X, not just cygwin.  cygwin is just a port of the standard *nix
console commands (ls, cp, cat, dd, etc.), whereas cygwin/X adds a port
of the X Window System, including an X Server.  For more info see
<http://x.cygwin.com/>.

Also note there a probably several other M$ Windows X Servers out there,
but I personally have never used any, so I can't recommend one over any
other.

Good luck,
Conway S. Smith

Google for NXClient and NXServer. It is fairly easy to set up and does 
compression so it will work respectably even over dial up, will forward 
sound, and a host of other neat stuff. Plus they have a linux and windows 
client which both work awesomely. Check it out. I think their company name is 
Nomachine.

Re: Remote X

[Stephen Samuel]

First thing to note here, is a bit of nomenclature.
For X windows, the server is the machine with the DISPLAY
The client is the one running the program.

I"m going to presume here, that the Linux box is
supposed to be the server.

First of all, you need to make sure that the Linux box
is allowing connections from the remote machine. If you've
already started a window manager (looks like you're using
windowmaker,) you do NOT need to start it again from the PC,
but you DO need to provide access to the PC from the Linux server

if you have a local xterm running on the PC, try going:

   xhost + 192.168.0.2

(presuming that this is the address of the PC).  This is the
most INsecure way of doing this (read up on xauth for a better way),
but it's OK for testing.

if you want to be *really* insecure,
	xhost +

will allow ANY machine which can get packets to your box to open
up a connection.



On the PC, try something simpler than another windowing program, like
an xterm, or xclock....

xclock -display 192.168.0.1:(a)

[ I'm presumimg that (a) is replaced by a number...]

Note: if you really want to start windowmaker from the PC,
then you should NOT be starting it on the Linux box... You don't
want  two window managers running at the same time on one (virtual)
display.

RE: Remote X

[Little, Chris]

perhaps even better is http://www.realvnc.com

depending on your distribution, you probably already have the server
installed.  at your linux box just type "vncserver"  it'll ask you for a
password for the session.

then from your webbrowser, http://your.linux.ip.address:580x where "x" is
the display number.
