cannot connect to X server

[uranoscopus]

Hallo peple,
I'm new for the forum and for kubuntu.
My problem is related to exporting a display from a remote PC on my kubuntu desktop with a telnet connection.
after I type:

xhost + remote_ip

telnet remote_ip

I log on the remote terminal and I type

export DISPLAY=my_ip:0

i try to launch for example kwrite from remote

kwrite

I have

kwrite: cannot connect to X server 150.145.38.40:1

On the Suse 9.3 I solved this problem deleting the string
nolisten tcp
from the first line of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
On kubuntu the file exists but there is not "nolisten" string

Anyone has a good and simple solution?
Thanks in advance
A.

Re: cannot connect to X server

Hi im a little confused "telnet" does not have GUI, or so i thought.

i think what you're looking for is FREENX

or check out http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html


or install emacs and use that instead of kwrite (emacs does not need display)


ps -- using ssh is more secure than telnet http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#SSH_Server
