Re: [CentOS] Remote nautilus, X display forwarding problem

2010/8/6 Dotan Cohen dotancohen@gmail.com:

I need to open a Nautilus window on a headless server, but no matter what I try it complains about the display:

✈dcl:~$ xhost + localhost localhost being added to access control list ✈dcl:~$ ssh -X user@ip.address [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$ nautilus --display=0:0 cannot open display: 0:0 Run 'nautilus --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [user@CentOS-55-32-minimal ~]$

Googling the situation it looks like I've covered all the steps: enabling remote X, X forwarding, display export and telling Nautilus which display to use. Any other ideas? Thanks!

install xorg-x11-xauth on server and then just ssh -X user@ip
