Just trying out tinycore for the first time and i like it.
Basically Im looking for a VM that i can forward X applications from various flavours of unix. Normally on these boxes (mainly AIX) i generally run "xhost +(machine)" on my linux desktop, and then just "export DISLPAY=" on the server.
There is no xhost on tinycore. So i load XOrg. xhost works but the connection is still refused.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. I want to keep the process as simple as possible as it will be for end users with no linux experience.
Thx

You can either transport the .Xauthority key to the app-running-hosts, or you can start the X server on TC such that anyone can connect (add a firewall, or only run in a trusted network).
To let anyone connect, add the -ac option to Xvesa (before the -I option) in .xsession.

Added that, restarted X. However im still getting the "Error: Can't open display: 172.16.160.148:0.0"
Tinycore is running as a VM, but is pingable from the network.
-
The next thing would be to remove the error redirection from the Xvesa line, and change to the console to see if there's any output from Xvesa.
edit: of course I'm assuming you have already removed "-nolisten tcp"?
