X11 Forwarding
#1
Hello guys i am working on a little project: https://www.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comme...&context=3


Now i want to connect from my pinephone via X11 Forwarding to my vm(ubuntu) on a hypver-v.

pinephone has Manjaro posh on it.
Which is using wayland.

I always get following errors on the pinephone:
- the xauth error
- And that it can not find any display

Nearly same as here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11755


Does anyone know what i can do? I don't realy get the other thread and i think they are trying do connect to the pinephone not from the pinephone Big Grin

The X11 Forwarding over putty and stuff on other clients works great Big Grin

Edit:

As in the other thread said this site is very good: https://www.dbts-analytics.com/notesxfwdgb.html

On the Pinephone:


1. Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 1150x850 :8
To connect use:
2. DISPLAY=:8 ssh -X trinidad@10.42.0.73 -p 54321 gnome-boxes 2>/dev/null


But it still does not work Sad

Still both errors Sad

So you know, you can't do X11 forwarding with Wayland. Look into waypipe:

It is even on Windows (Window Manager?) possible to open a x11 sessions over putty and xming(which acts as a x11 server). That has to be possible on wayland as well.

waypipe seems to be the way to go thanks Smile will take a look at that Smile


Edit: as i normaly work with x2goclient to get easy acces to sessions etc. i found a way for x2go to work Smile
