Sorry to be a bit thick, I could find the answer anywhere.hello. All that you have done it seems ok, but, what about the destination linux ?
I am trying to display an X app from a different system on my system. It does not seem to work on FC2, has anything changed?
What I am doing :
Remote : export DISPLAY=hostname.here.uk:0.0
Local : xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
Remote : ./firefox &
(firefox-bin:28349): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I've tried several apps but get similar problems.
Is there anything else that controls the security for X now? Or am I being a little thick?
Thanks,
Neil.
i've tryed SuSE for a while, and, even the other system (remote) was FC2 with xhost + and with the export of the X enabled, in SuSE was not working... SuSE protects almost evertything... for that works, was necessary to do, with a normal user:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 (current display) xhost +
and, only like this, the remote apps where able to show in my display.
so, what i recomend is: try to do the same you've done in the remote system with your local system.
Im using FC2 in my work and FC2 at home, and i can export the display of the apps to my work computer, without doing anything special...
try it.
if not works, try to see if any X protections are enable..
cheers
