X11Forward
August 16th, 2018
----------------------------------------
Today I tried in vain to accomplish something that should be
relatively simple: to share my clipboard with remote terminal
sessions.
Here's the scenario I'm in:
- I'm using a MacBook Air (work machine)
- I mosh to gopher.black (raspberry pi)
- I use tmux
This shouldn't be so difficult, but it is. Here's a list of
problems I've run into (and fixes):
- macOS needs X installed first (XQuartz installed)
- mosh doesn't seem to do x11 forwarding (used ssh -X or ssh -Y)
- remote ssh didn't allow x11 forwarding (edited sshd_config)
- local ssh config didn't allow x11 forwarding (edit .ssh/config)
After all that, I now successfully can see a $DISPLAY on the
remote when I connect! Hooray!
But what's this? Copying something with xsel on the remote does
a whole load of nothing? Awesome.
Somedays I feel like I'm crushing this whole computer thing. Some
days I just want to walk out into the woods and build a cabin.
I think I'm gonna go read some Thoreau.
