| pycurious | how do i run X-server on a remote server and direct its output to my mac? (firefox for example) | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| sarnold | ssh X11 forwarding is great if you want a single client. try ssh -X remotehost firefox and see how it goes | 01:46 |
| pycurious | sarnold: thanks. Let me try that - I think I got into trouble with that last time. | 02:07 |
| pycurious | sarnold: Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified | 02:09 |
| sarnold | pycurious: hmm are you running an X server locally on your mac? | 02:10 |
| pycurious | sarnold: on the server - i do see /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg :0 running | 02:10 |
| pycurious | sarnold: I am not - how can i do that? | 02:10 |
| pycurious | sarnold: I installed XQuartz. Now I get an xterm from which i can fire the ssh. When I run firefox from remote I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication" | 02:18 |
| sarnold | pycurious: ah! woo. progress. :) bummer it's stuck again already :( | 02:19 |
| sarnold | pycurious: usually ssh -X does some magic to provide the remote process with XAUTHORITY details, so it can connect to the local server; it's possible Xquartz's startup process doesn't generate the X11 authentication tokens. Normally they're stored in ~/.Xauthority on linux systems.. | 02:22 |
| pycurious | another error while logging in -> /usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/ubuntu/.Xauthority | 02:24 |
| sarnold | hah. okay. maybe this route isn't great. | 02:24 |
| sarnold | loads of folks use vnc or the other windows-oriented desktop thingy | 02:25 |
| sarnold | I never got the hang of those, but vnc might be easier than getting X working on macos | 02:25 |
| pycurious | sarnold: it worked :) | 02:27 |
| sarnold | pycurious: ooh, which thing worked? :) | 02:29 |
| pycurious | its crazy slow though. Even when I try to run firefox from a local network ubuntu box. | 02:29 |
| sarnold | ugh :( | 02:29 |
| pycurious | sarnold: A few tweaks. Had to remove .Xauthority* on the linux box | 02:29 |
| sarnold | I haven't actually used ssh -X in two decades. it was a great way to run netscape on a machine with more memory all to itself.. | 02:29 |
| pycurious | seems like the netscape days are back. Firefox is exactly behaving like that :) | 02:30 |
| pycurious | except it is not 1996. | 02:30 |
| sarnold | hehehe | 02:34 |
| JanC | can't do hardware acceleration with remote X... | 02:43 |
| pycurious | JanC: Does remotedesktop do hardware accel? | 03:18 |
| JanC | most of all it uses compression & other techniques to limit the amounts of data that need to go over the network... | 03:44 |

| kierank | I have a preseed that works for sata disks and I've replaced sda/sdb with nvme0n1/nvme0n2 | 17:26 |
| kierank | Is there anything else I need to change | 17:26 |
| kierank | I get an error that nvme0n1p3 is missing | 17:26 |
| TJ- | kierank: does the NVME device exist? is the nvme kernel module loaded? | 17:49 |
| kierank | yes, seems to be because virtualbox makes the disk defaults too small | 17:49 |
| kierank | works when you make them larger | 17:49 |
| kierank | Also why are there files missing from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.5/release/SHA256SUMS | 18:12 |
| kierank | oh because you removed them | 18:12 |
| kierank | hmmm | 18:12 |
