I have a CentOS server at home and want to view the X display on a laptop
running Ubuntu, and not having much success.
Here's what's been tried so far:
I ran this command on the CentOS server:
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.18:0.0
ssh -X -Y centos
xclock &
I tried that and am getting this error message. Just ran an nmap scan on
192.168.0.18 and the X server port doesn't appear to be open. How is that
enabled?
connect 192.168.0.18 port 6000: Connection refused
its tunnneld from localhost via SSH
you don't mess with setting DISPLAY at all, the ssh -X session should do
that for you, DISPLAY will be set to something like...
$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0
[where the :11 will be different for each ssh session]
