X11 Forwarding mobian
#12
(01-15-2021, 03:08 PM)3x5co Wrote: 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.
