[Peter Gamma]

Thanks, Wibble

1. The example here shows how to start Firefox to Forward X11 Display to Windows using Putty:

2. The Youtube video shows how to run LibreOffice by X11 Forwarding using Putty on Windows, and is very detailed.

a) We installed the Xming Windows applications, which allows to configure PuTTY.

b) In Putty, there was the option to activate  Forward X11, as described in 1)

c) then, we started in PuTTY a terminal on the PinePhone as described in 1)

d) We then typed «Firefox» in the command line of the Pinephone and return:

result:

no DISPLAY environment variable specified

e) We then typed «libreoffice –writer » in the command line of the Pinephone and return:

result:

Failed to open display

On the Windows PC, whe have two icons after installation of Xming: Xming and Xlaunch.

- With Xming, PuTTY can be configured to support X11 Forwarding

- With  Xlaunch, nothing happend.

In example 1, Firefox started in the PuTTY terminal on the Windows PC

In example 2, LibreOffice started in the PuTTY terminal on the Windows PC

In our example, nothing started in the PuTTY terminal on the Windows PC.
