Hello,
on my home computer i have Debian 6.x
and i can use SSH -X to connect my remote linux server on which is CentOS (Redhat).
I have fluxbox desktop interface there.
I want to ask how i can run somehow Firefox on that remote server and work in that Firefox on my local home linux PC..
Do i need to install Huge X-Window system (yum groupinstall 'X Window System') on remote computer or can i use fluxbox or any other more lightweight?
I want skip VNC and use ssh -X command..
When not having X-window system installed:
im getting errors like:
Error: no display specified
# export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
# firefox &
[1] 5832
# Error: cannot open display: localhost:0.0
AFTER installing X-Window system using yum command above, im getting same errors:
[root@vps ~]#
[root@vps ~]# firefox
Error: cannot open display:
[root@vps ~]# export DISPLAY=
[root@vps ~]# firefox
Error: cannot open display:
[root@vps ~]# export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
[root@vps ~]# firefox
Error: cannot open display: localhost:0.0
[root@vps ~]# firefox &
[1] 6426
any ideas please?
