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
And ran this command on the Ubuntu laptop:
xauth +192.168.0.2
When I try to run, say, xclock on the Ubuntu laptop, this is the error message I'm getting:
[root@centos-ws ~]# xclock
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.0.18:0.0
I'm assuming there's an important little detail I'm missing somewhere, but don't know what.
Any suggestions?
Paul

Hi
Are you using ssh for the connection if so ssh -X should tunnel X for
you. You may need to check the sshd.conf on the server you are
connecting to has X11Forwarding yes
