Re: [Xen-users] cant get X on domainU

1. ssh -X domainU
steps: on domain U
$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ xhost +
xhost:  unable to open display ":0"
on domain0  ssh -X domainU
result: ssh conection established no X forwarding starts.
after login tried startx, but get message user not authorized to start x

You shouldn't really need to do all that... If X forwarding is enabled in the sshd config in the domU, it will do all the setup required automatically when you ssh -X in. startx won't work in any case because it'll try and start an X server, but just running random X programs ought to work.

2. vnc
installed vncserver on domainU,
$ vncserver

New 'X' desktop is playbox-breezy-01-U:1
Starting applications specified in /etc/X11/Xsession
Log file is /home/slava/.vnc/playbox-breezy-01-U:1.log

$ cat .vnc/playbox-breezy-01-U\:1.log

27/12/05 19:22:49 Desktop name 'X' (playbox-breezy-01-U:1)
27/12/05 19:22:49 Protocol version supported 3.3
27/12/05 19:22:49 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901

on domain 0 tried to connect with gnome terminal server client using vnc
but connection gets refused

Sounds weird... Can you try telnetting from dom0 to port 5901 in the domU to see if the connection is open an accessible? What error does the Gnome client give? Have you tried just using plain vncviewer?

3 freenx

Ick, that doesn't look nice. Whose version of FreeNX were you using? Personally I like NX but I've generally not found it straightforward to set up.

Cheers,
Mark
