Since you are running from an Ubuntu graphical desktop then you already have an X server running locally so no further installation is necessary.Įstablish an ssh connection from your graphical desktop to the remote X client using the “-X” switch for X11 forwarding. sudo apt-get install vim-gtk Test from Ubuntu graphical desktop Sudo systemctl restart ssh X client, test applicationĪ quick GUI based application we can use for testing is gvim. X11Forwarding yesĪnd then restart the ssh service: # trusty The first thing you have to validate is whether ssh on the X client is configured to forward X11, ensure “/etc/ssh/ssh_config” has the following values. With this X11 communication channel properly established via ssh, a graphical applications run on the “X client” will be tunnel across and displayed on the GUI desktop. From the desktop “X server” we are going to ssh into the “X client”, making sure that X11 forwarding setting is enabled. This is either your Ubuntu desktop host, Windows, or Mac. The “X server” is what is run on the graphic desktop environment. We are going to enable the ssh service of this “X client” to forward X11 communication.
So that we are clear on terms, the “X client” is the Ubuntu host that is console-based and has no graphical interface of its own. For example, if Selenium tests using a headless version of Chrome are failing in a server environment, you may get hints by looking at the remote browser visually. The X11 protocol makes it possible to send the graphical display to a remote graphical desktop.įrom a production standpoint, this can be useful if applications running in “headless” mode need to be debugged.
