Hello,
I'm trying to use X11 so that I can run a remote session from my lab's Linux
boxes - i.e., I'm trying to use my Powerbook to login to the Linux machine
in the lab and start a session, which if I recall correctly would make my
powerbook the 'server' and the Linux machine the 'client'. (I'm sorry, I've
just starting really getting into the *nix side of things, so forgive my
lack of detailed knowledge).
I'm using OS X 10.4.2, and the Linux machine is running Fedora. Apparently,
it's also using GNOME (which I used Fink to install on my machine). Having
said that, I cobbled together a few instructions that I was following,
without really understanding what half of them did, and it went like this:
After starting X11.app on my machine, I did an ssh into the other machine:
ssh -X myname@labcomputer, which worked fine. Then, I typed:
gnome-session[enter], and got the following pile of blah in the xterm
window,
SESSION_MANAGER=local/labcomputer:/tmp/.ICE-unix/22385
Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has a
window manager
Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension.
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has a
window manager
The program 'nautilus' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
(Details: serial 257 error_code 5 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
On my end, the Fedora splash screen shows up, gets halfway through loading,
and then does nothing and I have to click on it to make it go away.
Could someone with more experience in these matters point in the right
direction to untangle this? I definitely appreciate any assistance that
might be offered.
Cheers,
Steven Hamblin
