 |
|
Hi all.
Can I use my xorg installation in Mac OSX to pull up X-applications from a remote gentoo box?
I've read about tightvnc and such, but a truly transparent Xorg -> Xorg would be cool 
Any thoughts are welcome.
edit: or what about a window with the whole Xorg/Gnome environment remotely? that's what VNC is for, yes, but if I could somehow avoid the vnc thing and go all Xorg..
solution: all-right, I just did the 'ssh user@linuxbox -X' from within the XDarwin environment provided by the Xorg installation:)
also, partly thanks to you, 2nd poster.

I never tried this by myself from OSX but you could try the following:
add this
to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config on your gentoo box.
then restart sshd:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/sshd restart |
after that you could try the following from your OSX box:
| Code: | | ssh -X user@yourosxbox |
after login try to launch a X-app.
this should work at least it does from linux to linux |
