On a more popular level, can Xephyr be used to watch ABC.com TV programs, as some have tried to use Xnest to do? See http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...3&postcount=12

I am using kde 3.5.10 on Ubuntu 8.10.Originally Posted by
5. Desktop:
Start Xephyr
[code
I am stuck with what to substitute "xfce4-session" with. I have tried kwm-session but I get command not found error.
Thanks in advance for any help, Kenneth.
I am a little rusty, but I think KDE usually starts with either
startx or startkde
You can alternately start the kicker (which is what I have done in the past).
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

I am a bit obtuse... I want to run fluxbox as my nested session on top of kde4:
How do I do this?
brian@brian-laptop:~$ Xephyr -ac -screen 1024x768 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &
[1] 2439
brian@brian-laptop:~$ DISPLAY=:1.0
brian@brian-laptop:~$ ssh -XfC -c blowfish brian@brian-laptop xterm
ssh: connect to host brian-laptop port 22: Connection refused
brian@brian-laptop:~$ DISPLAY=0.0 Not sure about this line?
brian@brian-laptop:~$ ssh -XfC -c blowfish brian@brian-laptop xterm
ssh: connect to host brian-laptop port 22: Connection refused
brian@brian-laptop:~$

I installed openssh-server and got further
brian@brian-laptop:~$ ssh -XfC -c blowfish brian@brian-laptop xterm

Is X installed on the machine you are trying to ssh into ?

Yes, it is a full blown version of 8.04 Kubuntu. I am launching this from the desktop. I get bits and pieces but I just can't seem to get something to work. The only errors I see is what I pasted here.
I am trying to launch fluxbox, but I can't even get xterm to run.
I don't even think I need to use "ssh" in the command exactly?
If I am in KDE, what would be the code to run fluxbox, preferably in one line, in Xephyr with a 1024x768 screen (my desktop is 1280x1024)?
I did this when kde 4 came out a long time ago, and I remember Xephyr being somewhat more cooperative. It was on a different verision of Ubuntu, and on a different machine.
I found this post
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/FAQ#howtoxnest and it mentions something about
"Some people find that they can start Xephyr (e.g., with Xephyr :1), but cannot start any clients inside it (e.g., with DISPLAY=:1 xterm or xterm -display :1), because the client connections are rejected by the X server's security mechanism, resulting in error messages like this:" The output error listed in the post is similar to mine, but not exactly that same... mine says a directory doesn't exist.
Anyway, the script suggested to run before Xephyr is
But I don't know what to put in for (mcookie), and (hostname) if anything or if this is what the script should look like.#!/bin/sh
MCOOKIE=$(mcookie)
xauth add $(hostname)/unix$1 . $MCOOKIE
xauth add localhost/unix$1 . $MCOOKIE
Xephyr "$@"
xauth remove $(hostname)/unix$1 localhost/unix$1
exit 0

brian@brian-laptop:~$ DISPLAY=:1.0
should be
brian@brian-laptop:~$ DISPLAY=:1,0
??
I also see posts that use some "export" synatax.
