We use RDP thin clients in our company. Each have an IP address with a stand alone linux OS on it
I want to open windows(gvim, xterm, ...) after ssh'ing to another remote server. Though I set DISPLAY variable to RDPIP:0, it is showing following error
E233: cannot open displayE852: The child process failed to start the GUI
is there any way?
1Have you actually checked that the clients run an X11 server with network access enabled? It's not particularly secure so most systems have disabled it. – user1686 – 2016-06-14T11:21:04.650
@grawity how that can be checked? – Bhargav Katkam – 2016-06-14T11:37:17.377
Also, xhost command is not available on RDP, we usually do
xhost +
setenv DISPLAY display

startx
)? – cdavid – 2016-06-21T01:59:55.410
