[ale] Remote X

[Chris Coleman]

Your DISPLAY should be pointing to the "remote" system not the localhost. Also try using -X or -x, I forget which, option to ssh. It will setup X forwarding to the correct DISPLAY without you manually setting it.

Subject: [ale] Remote X


I would like to be able to spawn and X (Java) application on a remote 
box using SSH.  It should not only be running on that box, but should 
display on the main monitor for that box, and not "locally".

Security is NOT an issue here.

I have done "xhost +localhost" on the remote box.  Then, I set 
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0.

The app runs, but I see not GUI.

Any ideas?

David
