RE: X11 Forwarding mobian - 3x5co - 01-15-2021
This worked fine for me. I followed the directions above to create a new .Xauthority file, then created a function in ~/.bashrc like this:
```
function send() {
GDK_BACKEND=x11 $1
}
```
And restarted bash with `. ~/.bashrc' . Now, I can log into my phone with ssh -X mobian@mobian and if I run, for example, `gedit`, it'll open on my phone. But if I run `send gedit` it'll open on my desktop. Cool!

That is pretty cool, tried it and it works! It does takes forever to come up, but it's not all that much worse than using X forwarding from a regular desktop PC. (The X wire protocol is a real pig.)
What would be really nice is a way to share the Pinephone screen with something like VNC. I've found there is a program called "WayVNC" for Wayland but it doesn't seem to be in the Debian/Mobian repositories yet. It seems to be in a fairly early stage of development, so maybe some time in the future it will be included.

RE: X11 Forwarding mobian - spaetz - 02-08-2021
Can I propose a different means to GUI forwarding? :-). (actually 2).
The first one is by using the broadway backend (the following on the phone):
Code:
sudo apt install libgtk-3-bin
broadwayd&
GDK_BACKEND=broadway geditThe second solution is by using waypipe which forwards a wayland connection and enables a kind of -X11 forwarding experience using wayland. I tried it and it worked for me. https://social.librem.one/interact/105666613468202272 (it runs through a ssh connections)

Cool, thank, will have to give those a try! Still looking for a way to share out the entire screen as with x11vnc and similar programs for X11. So far all I've found is wayvnc which as far as I can tell is not currently supported on Debian.
