[08] HOW CAN I RUN X11 APPLICATIONS REMOTELY FROM SDF?
|
|
|
|
The following is meant to be a generic setup which should work on
|
|
most UNIX systems. If you have a non-UNIX setup, you might have
|
|
to try some experimentation on your own or ask on the bboard.
|
|
|
|
First of all, you must have the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Are you running X11R6 on your computer?
|
|
2. If you are firewall or NATed, do you have ports 6000-6063 open
|
|
and forwarded to your computer's IP address?
|
|
3. Do you have an SSH client?
|
|
4. Do you have SDF MetaARPA membership?
|
|
|
|
If you answered no to any of these, you cannot proceed.
|
|
|
|
1. Start your X11R6 server on your computer if you haven't already
|
|
done so. Type 'X' or 'startx' at your local shell prompt.
|
|
2. Type 'xhost +' at your shell.
|
|
3. ssh -X -p443 YOURLOGIN@tty.freeshell.org
|
|
4. Once logged into an SDF machine, type 'export DISPLAY=$MYIP:0.0
|
|
(Check that 'MYIP' is set, if it is not, then set it to your
|
|
IP address or the IP of the NATing router.)
|
|
5. Type 'xeyes' and knock yourself out.
|
|
|
|
If you've run into any snags, double check your configuration. If
|
|
you still need help, then try asking for help on the 'bboard'.
