I'm currently playing a bit with X11.

  1. I tried to display something from my Ubuntu PC on my Android tablet. I installed and Xorg server in Android, set DISPLAY=<address> on the PC and ran xclock: this worked, the clock appeared in Android. If I run metacity & gimp, I get the GIMP GUI in the android machine. Is there a chance to get the Ubuntu desktop in Android?

  2. I wanted to run an X program in amazon EC2 Ubuntu and display the output on my local PC. Therefore I installed LXDE on the EC2 machine. But neither lxdm nor gnome-session work. Nothing happens.

For access from ubuntu pc to amazon ec2 ubuntu machine:

  • install remmina on local pc
  • install lxde and xrdp on remote machine (sudo apt install ...)
  • ssh to remote machine with .pem file and set password: sudo passwd ubuntu (rdp wants password)
  • start remmina on local pc, configure for rdp to ip-adresse of amazon ec2, resolution local width*local height-64px color depth 16bit, enable ssh-tunnel, tunnel via loopback, same server port 22, identity file amazon-ec2.pem (as downloaded from amazon)
  • click "connect" in the remmina configuration window
  • you should get login screen from xrdp. select module sesman-Xvnc, user ubuntu and password from above.
  • now you should get a lxdm desktop

(this should also work directly with x11 without rdp, but I did not find out how to do it)
