Run Ubuntu from Windows GUI Applications
P ara working with our Ubuntu Server or any other Linux Windows remotely from any computer, we can do with ssh to cygwin program.
To enable the service we perform various work student:
The first thing we must check that the option of X11 forwarding is permitted in file / etc / ssh / sshd_config . We sought chain X11Forwarding , which must be yes value.
The following will install a graphical environment. In our case we opted for the following option:
$ sudo aptitude install xorg (x-window-system-core)
$ sudo aptitude install xfce4 (gnome, kde, icewm, fluxbox, etc) In Windows
install the Cygwin program. Download the installer from the project website and copy it to the folder c: \\ cygwin. When you install will ask to state the server (in my case I selected mirror.cs.vt.edu). After downloading the installation files will display a list of available packages install the program together. We must not forget to select the packages in X11 and comprbando that are selected as follows: xterm, openssh (Net), xorg-server, xinit, xorg-docs, x-start-menu-icons, inetutils .
The installation will take a while, so we can use for anything else.
After installation run the program XWin you have installed. We find in
Start -> Programs -> CygwinX . Once started, will be minimized and run in the background. If we open, we can see that everything is working. For
connect to the GUI server run:
ssh-X usuario@dominio.ext
From here you can run any command on our server, and even those who are to execute programs with graphical environment.
