SSH


Recommended Posts

I'm the middle class of linux. I've messed around with it enough to get hardware working eventually screw it up....

I am using SSH to connect to my computer at home from work. I am trying to find out the many things that I can do with linux over the RDP setup I had with W2k3s. I am trying to run specific apps with X11 support. I have X11 forwarding enabled in putty on my end, and I have edited both sshd_config and ssh_config for X11 forwarding. I am stumped now because I still get the message below when trying to run applications via ssh. I also read something about permissions on a .Xauthority file... but wanted to see if someone had previous experience with this before messing with permissions.

user@host:~$ firefox

The application 'firefox-bin' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;

most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed

the application.

user@host:~$

Thanks. That did it. I installed Cygwin/X (cause its free) and executed XWin.exe which created an X server session. Then in my SSH I just type the application I want to run and Walla!
