Xquartz for windows6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I tried it and it worked on the first attempt. Then I saw the icmn223 suggestion about using MobaxTerm. I removed the Cygwin and retried the whole thing just to make sure I did not do something wrong or missed anything with the same result. But after I configured the putty and started the SSL session, the whole thing worked as if I did not have an X server available. So I temporarily disabled it and proceeded. There was no Xming X Server offered to be let through the firewall. The first glitch was after I installed the Cygwin. So when I saw your article, I gave X session forwarding a try. I was always remotely accessing my RPIs and an Intel Linux PC using the RDP protocol. How to Use X Forwarding to Run GUI Apps via SSH : Read more It uses differential X protocol coding, compression, and caching to make the experience much more usable.Īdmin said:Forwarding an X session over SSH brings a remote GUI application to your desktop, so now all of your apps are in one place, and not in random VNC sessions. ![]() If you absolutely must use X11 forwarding, use NXclient protocol 4 or later. You can power cycle your thin client, reconnect to the app later and it will be exactly how you left it. Xpra runs your app in a nested X server on the remote host, and then pipes its video and audio back to your thin client using modern audio/video codecs like HEVC/Opus, and it lets you scale the app, set the quality/framerate tradeoffs to achieve good latency and bandwidth.Īlso, if your network isn't 100% reliable, you don't crash the application. You're infinitely better off using Xpra instead. Not only is the UI using orders of magnitude more data, but it's expecting to animate it with a local GPU, which doesn't get forwarded! Today, running modern GTK or KDE apps over a forwarded X session is really not an option. Also, apps were being built to run on servers and have their display on your workstation, so developers were actually considering the X protocol bandwidth. Back then we didn't have huge truecolour bitmaps, 100MB fonts, client-side rendered widgets, etc. This was fine in the 90's when X protocol was lightweight. ![]()
