problem with tutorial

Don't worry about stupid questions etc.

As far as I can tell from the screenshot you sent, you should set 'authorize TCP connections to X Window' to YES.
Im not familiar with 'Auth. all services controlled by tcp_wrappers' and 'Allow X Window connections = LOCAL' - so if the the first option doesn't work, you can try the other two.

Once you've changed Auth. TCP connections' to yes and restarted X (log out, and select 'restart X server' from the login screen) you can check if X actually allows connections by running this command in a terminal:

ps ax |grep X

and you should see something like:

claus@claus-desktop:~$ ps ax |grep X
597 tty7 Rs+ 3:50 /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nr


if '-nolisten tcp' appears, edit the /etc/init/gdm.conf (it might be located somewhere else on your distribution) to fix it.


In regards to 'ssh' - you can install it from the package-manager of your distribution.

Check back if you still have problems

Judging from the terminal output you sent, you should be set up for remote X connections.
You can test it by typing this in a terminal:

xterm -display localhost:0

If a new terminal pops up, it works. Otherwise it'll complain about lack of permissions.


Now, SSH needs to be working too, so try to connect to your own computer like this:

ssh localhost

If nothing happens you need to install the ssh-server via the package-manager.

If you're asked for a password, you need to configure SSH for password-less logins. Google 'pclinuxos + ssh + "no password" ' or something like that.

If you're greeted with a login without having to enter a password, you're golden

Otherwise come back here
