I can see what you mean, and that process works ok, but what I'm looking for
is a way to view whats already on machine B's Konsole from machine A.
The example was. I'm working on machine B. With the Konsole I run apt-get
update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. The upgrade runs to completion, and I'm
left with a lot of text on Konsole. I have a query regarding the update, but
my email client is on the other machine. If I close Konsole I lose the text,
unless I save it as a .txt file. What I'm looking to do is keep machine B's
Konsole open, and be able to access it from machine A, and in this way can
paste the text from machine B's Konsole, which is now viewable on machine A,
onto machine A's Kmail composer.
Perhaps I'm asking too much.
You don't really need to view the text from machine A, you need to
paste it into a program running on A which is easy to do in another
window on B. If you already have text you need to keep on two
different X screens there's not much you can do but copy it to a
file this time and have a better plan next time.
