Hello.
I've used Linux/Unix for several years, and whenever I wish to run a
program on a different machine and redirect the display output to my
machine, I've done:
mymachine$ xhost +
remotemachine$ export DISPLAY=mymachine:0.0
remotemachine$ blahXapp
However, on Ubuntu when I try this - the xhost + command works fine, and
the DISPLAY variable gets properly exported. But when I try to run the
application, I get:
(gnome-cups-manager:24021): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Am I missing something here?
Regards,
Henning Pedersen
