I installed the xwindows system using apt-get, not sure if I have it configured wrong or what but I can't run any x programs through ssh, I've been getting "X connection to localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."

And sometimes when I try to run startx I get "AUDIT: Sat Aug 27 01:44:02 2005: 30834 X: client 4 rejected from local host.

apt-get means you're using a debian flavah...

save yourself some time and hassle and just buy a bare bones copy of linspire.com's OS, it's debian with all the whistles installed for ya


supah easy in stall worth a few bucks they charge...I didn't by into the big 'click whatever' software shit cuz I knew how to install *nix shit for free from the synaptic setup in debian...


I got an old ISO of lindows 4.0 around here somewhere....hollah

Yes, the server is running Debian 3 I believe, and it's on a remote server I'm trying to do this over SSH with X11 tunneling, kinda in the dark about what the problem is.

[BigCashCrew]

Any other suggestions or boards that may be able to help?

I don't have the time to buy anything. I need to get this running right now!

I appreciate the response TheJimmy!

Thanks!

Can you give me a bit more info on your setup?
Is the local machine a windows or linux box?
Post the ssh command you are using to connect to the server. (You're using the -X option to tunnel X over ssh, right?)
You may be getting authentication failures if you're trying to run suid programs.
Post the errors with the verbosity flag to ssh set. (-v)

blarg ... tunneling X is icky ... it's not exactly the fastest protocol ...

[PussyTeenies]

xconf
xconfig

or any other gui based xconfigurator would do the trick

Maybe I am missing something here, but you are trying to run X programs via SSH to localhost?! That makes utterly no sense.

X is a client server system. The Server runs the apps, the Client displays them. If you use it on your desktop, then both are on the same system, but it looks like you installed X on your SERVER and are now trying to somehow start x apps via ssh? Where are you expecting them to appear? If you want them on your desktop, you need a X client on your DESKTOP and need to tell your SERVER which DISPLAY to use meaning your desktop.

Also, running startx on a SERVER makes no real sense to me either.

May you have misunderstood something about X maybe, or were you just unclear in your post and I do not understand?
