DammitJimI have a computer running linux hooked up to my tv17:10
DammitJimis there a way I can stream content to it from my laptop?17:10
DammitJimbasically just use the TV as a big monitor from my laptop, but not connected to it via wires, but rather wifi17:11
raubvogelDammitJim: it depends on what you are confortable with17:30
raubvogelnon-media specific solutions: X11 forwarding, vnc, etc17:30
raubvogelmedia-specific: set your laptop as media source and then have desktop with tv find and use it?17:32
raubvogelAccess laptop drive and go from there?17:32
DammitJimraubvogel, X11 forwarding sounds like an option, but I don't know if it's the reverse of what I want?17:32
DammitJimRight now I can do movies and stuff from my HTPC server17:33
DammitJimbut I want to pop up spreadsheets or just browse the web17:33
raubvogelCan't your htpc server see the laptop on network?17:33
DammitJimyeah17:33
DammitJimbut I hate the wireless keyboard and mouse I have for my htpc17:34
raubvogelyou can specify the port forwarding source no matter where you start ssh from17:34
raubvogel(-R vs -L)17:34
raubvogelI think17:34
DammitJimman, I'm being lazy17:34
DammitJimdo you have some examples of how this would work?17:34
DammitJimI have 2 machines here right now that I could test it with17:34
raubvogelI can't help that much since I am rather swamped here, but something on the lines of "ssh -C -c blowfish -R 13003:localhost:13003 user@htpc"  is what I was thinking17:37
DammitJimhow do I tell my laptop to display a program on the server, though?17:38
raubvogeldepends on program17:38
DammitJimman, I've done this before17:38
DammitJimI don't know why I don't remember it17:38
raubvogelssh -X or ssh -Y might be what you had in mind17:38
DammitJimraubvogel, but I can't control it once it launches the application17:52
raubvogelThen how about something like vnc? You can have a viewer only seeing but not editing17:53
DammitJimyeah, I thought of that17:54
DammitJimbut didn't know if there was another option like with X11 forwarding17:54
raubvogelThere is a kinda of x11 meets vnc on planet Mongo17:58
raubvogelwhere it behaves like a Mac: 17:58
raubvogelforward your main screen17:58
DammitJimif I forward my main screen, can I still navigate it with my mouse?17:58
DammitJimthat's my thing17:58
raubvogelWell, your mouse is *on* the screen17:58
raubvogelno matter if it is only being shown on TV or laptop+tv17:59
DammitJimI want to use the mouse on my laptop, though17:59
raubvogelwhere is the mouse?17:59
DammitJimso, you are saying I can use the mouse on the laptop to navigate what is being shown on my HTPC that is connected to the TV?17:59
DammitJimthat's all I'm looking for17:59
raubvogelYep17:59
DammitJimlike I said... I just hate the mouse/keyboard I have for my htpc18:00
DammitJimI just tried ssh -X dammitjim@htpc-server google-chrome18:00
raubvogelwww.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ perhaps?18:00
DammitJimit launched google-chrome on the server, but I can't control it18:00
zushello21:26
zusim reading this article on ssh and secure servers. my question is can i set up ssh or open ssh on my laptop  and not need a server or a home server? and how can i keep safe when on other networks (coffee shops)  or when sites arent  https? this particular article is  for a windows machine.  can i have a link to a good (X)ubuntu  how to please?21:31
raubvogelzus: I do not understand the question. ssh is just a means to connect to another machine21:56
zusraubvogel,   im looking on google for  tutorials and stuff to learn it.21:59
raubvogelzus: start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSH22:00
zusi dont know  why i almost never begin with this site...thanks22:01
raubvogelNo worries22:03
