my development server has a running Gnome-Desktop. I am connected to it by a ssh session. The Gnome-Session and the ssh session are running with the same user.

How to I start a Gnome-application (for example gedit) from the ssh remote session so that it appears on the remote servers Gnome-Desktop?

Thanks a lot,
Hacksteak25

    This would probably work:

    Tcsh:

    setenv DISPLAY :0
    gedit
    

    Bash:

    export DISPLAY=:0
    gedit
    

    If you are not the user that is logged into the Gnome session, then you would need to do xhost + to disable the authentication.

    If the above doesn’t work, then instead of :0, try simply copying the DISPLAY environment variable to the ssh terminal.
