I'm ssh'd as root into my linode server and have installed Xubuntu (for Ubuntu 10.04). Now I'd like to use it, but issuing starts brings about the fatal error no screens found. I've installed and run emacs which appears as a GUI interface with the Terminal (I'm using OS X) window, so how can I do the same with Xubuntu?
Thanks!
FreeNX ( http://freenx.berlios.de/ ) is a good solution for remote desktop viewing under Linux - it compresses the X protocol much better than VNC (and is faster than natively piping X protocol over
ssh -X) - you can even watch videos via it on relatively low bandwidth links. If you install FreeNX then you should be able to configure a Xubuntu session through the client.
