<1> Sh4dowcat: okay

<0> it'll tell you how to connect with putty
<2> Sh4dowcat: Also when I vncviewer via myip localhost:64 and login I get Error: can't open display:
<2> okay i'll read it
<3> logan5: type "vncserver" and hit enter
<4> vi
<5> nano
<2> I get Xaugh: (argv):1: bad display name "tux:2" in "add" command new x desktop is tux:2 starting apps specified in /home/myuser/.vnc/xstartup log file blah blah
<2> ;__;
<3> ok rm /home/myuser/.vnc/xstartup
<2> done
<3> now "vncserver"
<2> try vncserver on my winbox through putty again?
<2> okay
<3> no
<3> that is what i thought you were doing
<2> yeah same xauth bad display blah
<3> go to your linux box
<2> im on it talking to you :P
<3> pull up a console and run "vncserver"
<3> not through ssh
<2> true
<2> yeah i get the same thing
<3> are you root
<2> and before I did this I pkilled xvnc
<2> Yeah :O
<3> are you su'd to root
<2> heh
<6> ^_^
<2> yeah
<2> i did vncserver as my user and i got the same thing
<3> type "exit" and drop to your user
<3> then run vncserver
<2> xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "tux:1" in "add" command
<3> type ping tux
<2> ping: unknown host tux
<2> You im noob i use tux :D
<3> there is your problem
<2> Really? That's the problem
<3> that is it
<3> use your editor, open /etc/hosts
<2> Wow....Thanks
<2> A lot - im in hosts now
<3> on the line that starts 127.0.0.1
<3> go to the end of the line and add tux
<2> so after localhost
<3> yes after localhost, add "tux" without the quotes
<3> save the files
<3> file
<2> done
<3> now, back as your user NOT ROOT
<3> type vncserver
<2> vncserver ?
<2> New 'X' desktop is tux:2
<3> there you go
<2> Yay :D ?
<7> freenx .. mmmmm
<3> now you should be able to connect to your vnc from your windows machine via ssh use display :2
<3> your windows box will not understand "tux" do use the IP address not the name
<4> http://www.bash.org/?392288
<2> so I dont use vncviewer -quality 5 localhost:1
<3> not yet
<3> on your windows box, open your putty connection with port forwarding of 5902 back to your windows's port 5902
<2> i just typed display :2 on my winbox in ssh and i got 'display: unable to open X server
<2> ok
<3> NO
<3> listen to me
<7> webany: looks staged to me
<2> :O
<3> you are not going to run a unix command to get to vncviewer
<3> vncviewer is a program on your windows box
<2> im still on forwarding the ports with putty Lol.....
<3> good
<2> I see an X11 forwarding
<3> forget that
<2> Theres not much in +Connection
<3> you are not forwarding X11 you are forwarding vnc's port 5902
<2> Trying to ...figure it
<4> (Pills) "You've got a low IQ" (new signon to AOL sound)
<2> i think i have to upgrade.
<3> vncserver runs on your linux machine. vncviewer runs on your windows box ssh is how the connection is made between the two boxes
<2> P38: I just can't find how to forward the ports on the actual program putty
<3> now that i can help with
<3> standby a sec
<2> Lol I didn't want to ask
<2> Y'know...#linux-noob as apposed to #micro$oft
<7> opposed
<3> logan5: open putty.. you should get a "putty configuration" window
<2> opsec: :P
<2> puTTY Configuration .... Then I see the HOST name or ip I put in ----
<3> ok now, down at the bottom of the category tree
<3> do you see -SSH-Tunnels
<2> Nowhere in site.... would it be in Connection maybe ?
<7> sight
<3> yes click on the "+" next to connection
<3> SSH is under that
<2> Sight* :D
<2> Right yeah
<3> and Tunnels are under SSH
<3> you there ?
<2> yeah
<2> :D
<3> ok uncheck Enable X11 forwarding
<6> :o)
<2> It wasn't checked :P
<3> good
<2> what about in Tunnels though?
<3> now, put your cursor in Source Port
<2> add new Forwarded port --> Source port
<3> and type in 5902
<2> destiation
<2> destination..*
<2> 5901 ? or do i just leave it
<3> in localhost:5902
<3> put localhost:5902
<2> Lol alright :D Thx
<3> now, click Add
<2> done
<3> you might want to g back to the Session tab and save this
<2> By the way, under Destination Local is checked, is that okay?
<3> yes taht is what you want
<2> ok I logged in
<3> now, minimize that window
<2> ok
<3> and, in windows start, click on your vncviewer
<2> I don't have a vncviewer :O ?
<3> then install it
<2> ... i see
<2> So you don't actually see X through ssh or anything you actually need a vnc client
<3> i use TightVNC it is free
<3> YES :-) you are beginning to understand
<2> Just a little more work to do when i'm on a school terminal :P
<3> you can run a X server under windows, but VNC is actually faster
<3> if you are going to be administring a server from your school's PC's you may want to forget about vnc and remote X and just learn how to use the console... ssh can run from just about anywhere
<2> i don't really want to install TightVNC server on my winbox ---do I need it though?>
<2> I know i ssh home all the time at school
<3> logan5: have you ever used PCanywhere
<2> no
<3> vnc is same as pcanywhere... it just displays your desktop on a remote machine
<2> ok i've opened up vncviewer
<3> now, it should pop up a tiny window asking for your remote machine's name and port
<2> I typed display:2 and it messed up Lol
<3> in that box, type 127.0.0.1:5902
