*hrumph*
Bitvise xterm SSH Client not able to open Remote Desktop. All that happens when I try to Remote Desktop connect is that I get a shell as I would when I normally use Bitvise in terminal mode. When I do an startx from the bitvise SSHed in terminal, it launches the Desktop on the linux box (I can see the monitor from my PC station). LOL
I tried this:
The problem is with debian default setup. It sets it up so that only root can log into X. In order to change this you need to edit the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file. For the syntax of that, check out the man page for 'Xwrapper.config'. All you need to add is the 'allowed_users=anybody' option.
I also tried this:
sudo stop lightdm (or kdm or gdm instead if you installed kubuntu or GNOME shell)
sudo Xorg -configure
sudo start lightdm (or kdm or gdm instead if you installed kubuntu or GNOME shell)
:(
I have some more info:
I see these errors in the Bitvise command window:
02:28:57.906 Auto opening xterm terminal session.
02:28:57.906 Auto opening Remote Desktop session.
02:28:57.911 Listening for Remote Desktop client-2-server connection on 127.0.0.1:19593 succeeded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
