ssl issues
I have used ssl to login to remote computers before without much problems and can still do it now, but when I try to connect to my fedora core1 box from my laptop (running damn small linux), and run x applications, I get errors!
eg login to computer works ok can view and change directorys no problem. If I try to run something like nautilus I get the error _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for localhost (nautilus:13748): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: This happens if I try to open other X programs aswell like xmms I used to have no problem running these apps. Any Ideas?? Danny |
you mean ssh? if you shell to a linux box, and try to run x, it won't work like that.
--there is no x server running for the programs to run on. you need an x server running on your windows box, and you can shell to your linux box, and start X on your windows display, and then you can run X programs on windows from a remote linux box. This is a little vague, and i am sorry, but there are a few ways of accomplishing this based on convenience/cost. Try cygwin, see if that doesn't help. http://x.cygwin.com/ |
Think the option you want is:
ssh -X to fwd X Windows |
sorry
I meant ssh the linux box I am trying to reach has a working Xserver up and running fine. I used to be able to access this box no problem and run apps but for some reason it has just stopped working ?? ssh -X (with all the other bits -l user address) didn't seem to make a difference either?? Thanks for the replys anyway |
Try adding line
127.0.0.1 localhost to file /etc/hosts (if it is not there). |
127.0.0.1 local host
did the trick Thanks |
