Re: how-to shutdown linux remotly over lan (partialy solved-more stuff to come)

if i run a command like kate from ssh it gives an error
kate: cannot connect to x server

That is because kate is a GUI program, it is not just your regular text editor.
You need to install a normal text editor on your server, or use one that is already there. My favourite is ne:

sudo apt-get install ne

but nano, or joe, or vim, are all suitable choices.
With ne you type "ne filename" to use it and use F1 to get a dropdown help menu.

I gotta do dinner etc... I'll see if I have any other ideas later.

Cygwin? I know almost nothing about it, but what would the MS-Windows environment impose on it, regarding the security model and file name limitations? What were you going to do with it?

exactly that i want to do with cygwin... emulate an X11 and connect to the linux box and use kate or other gui-based progs from the win box... easy right lol

Cygwin sounds like a difficult route to me, and aren't you just trying to re-invent VNC? Perhaps what you are really looking for is something http based. Campcaster is one such, but probably overkill. Also, I haven't tried it yet, but don't many of the media players, like VLC for instance, read files from a URL and using plain old FTP?

What happens if you start ssh with the -X flag?

Re: how-to shutdown linux remotly over lan (partialy solved-more stuff to come)


to witsh ip should it connect to the client or to the server

there are both ips

ssh -X 192.168.1.14 (server)
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/britta/.Xauthority

ssh -X 192.168.1.15 (client)
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.15 port 22: Connection refused


well there must be hundreds of players that can but im used to vlc and it works on kubuntu n win

also why go the easy way if u can go the hard way... the experience gained is much greater if u go the hard way... cheers

Assuming you have a user account called britta on the server, did you try

ssh -X britta@192.168.1.14 konsole

britta@britta-desktop:~$ ssh -X britta@192.168.1.14 konsole]

I am replying to many posts here, but I think they are all still relevant. If you ssh from linux1 to linux2 with

ssh -XY linux2

X programs run on linux2 should display on linux1 because your DISPLAY environment variable on linux2 will point at a tunnel to linux1.

To run X programs on a Windoze machine use Putty and Cygwin's Xserver. Cygwin is easy. Download the installer and run it. It wil allow yo to select which packages you want to install. You can use commandline ssh from Cygwin but putty is much faster. You can set Cygwin to start the Xserver on login so when you make a putty connection with X forwarding set you can run Kate on the linux machine and it displays on your Windoze machine. I see you were headed toward that and it does work, and is much faster than VNC. You should also investigate Pagent (included with putty) and keychain.

Winscp is a free secure sftp and scp client for Windoze. If you are interested in security it is much better than ftp, which sends your password in clear text over the network. When you installed the openssh-server you also got the sftp server.

Re: how-to shutdown linux remotly over lan (partialy solved-more stuff to come)

ok cygwin is not so easy if u dont know witch packages to install lol... so just leave it there

how do i use the putty xterm
i figure that if i have the ssh up n runnig whit n X there wont be any use for a ftp... i dont need n ftp just jet so lets just stick whit ssh for now... and i already use the sftp from openssh n the psftp from putty but thks anyway

from linux to linux isnt an issue since both have X on it and any prog would run from the other pc

i really should order this topic
cheers

I think if you select the FVWM window manager in Cygwin you will get everything you need. Included will be a batch script, IIRC startxwin.bat. I usually comment the line that starts an Xterm and use that script. When it starts it will put an X icon in your tray and you can use this to stop it.

In putty use the panel on the left to select the options you want, including Xforwarding, then just connect and it works.

Re: how-to shutdown linux remotly over lan (partialy solved-more stuff to come)

here is the issue i think
