Re: redirect display

[Jeroen De W. <jer...@in...>]

Hello abdelkader,

You probably need to explicitly enable TCP listening on your remote X 
server. Even when xhost + has been executed, X is usually not listening 
for remote X connections.
If you are using gnome/gdm on your remote machine, you may want to look 
into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and modify the parameter DisallowTCP to be false. 
Restart your X server after doing so (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should do the 
trick).
Check if the port is listening now... port 6000 is the one you're 
looking for.

If it is listening (keep in mind that you still need to execute xhost 
+), retry connecting your gnome-terminal to it.

final note: you should be aware that this is an inherently unsafe method 
of using remote applications... You will open your host to any and all X 
applications running on your network...
You may want to consider using remote applications through an SSH tunnel 
with X forwarding instead (this does not require opening port 6000 ).

Kind regards,

Jeroen
