At best (or worst) the application opens on the Freerunner. Then there are various degrees of stranding on the way to the display of my laptop<br>
<br>
The output is quite clear:<br>
(vala-terminal:2759): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:<br>
<br>
There is no display set. This is with the default /etc/profile (DISPLAY=:0). I tried setting it manually to point to the freerunner, to no avail. Xauth does not list any displays, while there is a display on my laptop (how handy..)<br>
<br>
Any suggestion?<br></blockquote><div><br>One thing would be more information in your problem report. I think you are trying to start an X client on your FR and have the output come to your desktop, but that isn't 100% clear. Always describe what you are trying to do, in simple terms (eg: "I'd like to start xmines on my FR and have it show up on my Desktop").<br>
<br>Next, I'm unclear how you are connecting between your FR and your Desktop. USB cable? Ethernet? Intervening device(s)? Wifi? Mind meld? :)<br><br>You reference "DISPLAY", and even give us a pretty good error message. But without some of the above info, it'll be harder to know what is going on.<br>
<br>It would also help if you let us know your approx. skill level. (eg: "While I'm a Ubuntu GUI guru, I'm a newbie at getting X working between different machines").<br><br>Now, I have the older 1973 (pre-FR), and it's been a while since I hacked on it. But if memory serves, I was able to get X working with the right settings.<br>
<br>I'll assume a few things -- that you are directly connecting to the FR (no other devices in the middle), and that there is no encryption. In that case, you probably<br>need 2 things. First, is the correct DISPLAY setting. This is usually "DISPLAY=hostname:0.0", where hostname = desktop's hostname. Second, you have<br>
to either "xhost" or "xauth" your FR, something like "xhost +freerunnerhostname". Now, I don't know if there is some FR specific issue or distro problem that<br>might be affecting the FR/FR OS, so your mileage may vary. But, feel free to try out the above suggestion and let us know if it works, and if it doesn't, please<br>
answer some of the other questions above.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br>Gerald<br></div></div>
