Clues?
xhost(1)
Also make sure your local X server is configured to accept tcp connections, and you have no iptables rules blocking those.
Among other places, you will want to check for the DisalowTCP tag on /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, if you are using gdm (standard for CentOS). I don't remember what the default is.
thanks but you are still over my head.
xhost +localhost returns the same error.
On your local workstation, you should do:
xhost +remote
Where remote is either the hostname (should be possible to lookup) or IP Address (to make sure it will work).
DisallowTCP is commented in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Uncomment and set to "false".
The issue seems to be that gdm isn't running...is it supposed to be running in runlevel 3?
You should set those value on your local workstation (console), not the remote one. This is the workstation you call MYHOSTNAME.
You might also want to access MYHOSTNAME:0.0, not 1.0.
If so...what is the right way to start it?
---- OK - I will play with this but I think you aren't understanding how I am accessing...
I am connecting to remote via ssh...
ssh -XC user@host
I can execute this program no problem by the './startconsole...'
But I really want to use a VNC session and run from there...so instead, I have vncserver start as my user and connect...
vncviewer localhost:1
Once I authenticate, I am running a VNC session and I can use things like firefox/evolution/etc.
I then open a terminal session, su - to root and then execute the command, which is when I get this error.
If this explanation helps...I am offering it. Basically, everything I am doing is not on my local machine but rather on the remote to which I am connected via ssh.
Thanks
