Comparing version 2 and version 1 back

Starting up a GUI app to your local machine is fairly easy.  You start out by connecting via ssh with just one extra option.  

ssh -X example.com


Then you start up an X11 application.

If you have problems with this just turn on verbose ssh messages when you connect (-v for verbose), and that will probably tell you what is wrong.  But you probably only want to turn this on when you are troubleshooting as it generates a lot of visually distracting messages.
