problems getting remote ssh/X connection working
i'm having trouble getting a remote X connection going with ssh.
I can connect fine to the machine (an HPUX server) with Code:
$ x -auth -l username remotehost but i can't get it to work over a secure connection :( whatever i try and do i get the message about could not connect to display. the main jist of what i think i want to do is Code:
$ ssh -X -l username remotehost Thanks! fabs |
check and see if these settings are set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Code:
X11Forwarding yes |
uh oh.....
Code:
$ ssh -l username remotehost |
uh oh....mass stupidity.....DisplayOffset, not UseDisplayOffset....oops :P
well, have (kinda) solved things by using Code:
$ ssh -XAL user hostname Thanks, fabs |
I was actually talking about "sshd_config"(note the 'd') which is the config file for the daemon on your ssh server, not the client.
You have to start an X server on the localhost first, then you ssh in to launch you window manager etc. |
ah, ok. next newbish question......how do i start X without loading the window manager? i.e. in such a way that "start env_name" will work? many thanks :)

run "X" or "XFree"
