IT: The Basics

Install an X server

Graphical programs under Linux (apps that open their own window, as opposed to command-line programs) can run on one machine, but display on another.

Work in progress

This page was automatically migrated from the legacy Taggi site ( https://taggi.cse.unsw.edu.au/FAQ/Install_an_X_server/) and is pending review. Content, links and screenshots may be incomplete or incorrect.

Installing an X server

On Windows

Download config.xlaunch
In Windows Explorer, type %APPDATA%/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Startup into the address bar, and hit Enter
Copy the downloaded folder into the window.
The X server will now launch when Windows starts up
(double-click the file to launch it now)

On Mac

Testing your X server

In the Settings screen, go to Connection -> SSH -> X11, and tick the box labelled 'Enable X11 forwarding'.
Then return to the 'Session' tab and click 'Save' to save this as the default.
Now connect to login.cse.unsw.edu.au as normal.

Dual Boot

There are two main ways to do this: dual-booting, and running a virtual machine.
