Part of the problem is I’m really not familiar with how to run X windows / Gnome etc within the command line. I’ve dabbled a bit with it but it’s hard getting up to speed with where the various apps are etc.

Any simple tips on the locations of apps that I should be able to run? I’m connecting to a Fedora Core 5 linux box.

Thanks again for your help!

Do the following:

Start X Windows on your Mac. In the terminal, type: “ssh -l [user name] -X -v [server]” where server is the name of the machine you want to connect to.

Once you are in, just type the name of an application like gedit. If it doesn’t work, there’s a good chance that the ssh server on the Linux box isn’t allowing X to run. You have to specifically enable this in the ssh server. You will need to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and look for the line X11Forwarding and make sure it is set to yes. If it is set to no, change it and then restart the SSH server, typically with the following command: /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Hope this works for you.

Whats great about X Windows is you can run programs on your desktop that are being run from various machines.

And actually you can display an entire desktop via X Windows, but the beauty of it is the ability to just run individual apps.

I managed to get as far as logging in via X11 and I can see the command line but I don't know how to try and start any GUI apps. I'm pretty much a linux GUI noob really although I do know my way around the command line a fair bit.</p> <p>Do you have any tips / pointers to useful sites giving the basics of what is required on the server end for me to be able to run some kind of GUI? I'm presuming I need to do some configuring at that end.</p> <p>Thanks again for the article, I hadn't thought about X11 only VNC.</p> Hi, Great little article, I’ve been looking for a solution to connect to a server running Fedora Core 5 for a while, this would be an ideal way.

Thanks again for the article, I hadn’t thought about X11 only VNC.
