Using a GUI when remotely accessing a Ubuntu server

Is it pos开发者_开发百科sible to use a GUI (gnome) that is installed on another machine to display the contents of a server, kind of like a remote connection but the server itself does not have a desktop manager installed?


If you want to run a gnome-based app, the machine that executes the code must have the dependency libs (libgnome, libgtk, etc). If you are using yum, apt or similar, install the application and pray for a minimal dependency hell.

If you want to use a Gnome on a client to show server's contents, you are out of luck. The best effort you can do is use a remote file sharing (sftp, nfs, etc).

What I recommend from my own experience is install the software on server and use a remote connection, like remote X11, VLC or NoMachine.


You can use sshfs to mount servers directory on your client computer and browse it with your window manager. You can also install X Window server on client and use ssh with option -X, so you can start on client computer all graphical applications installed on server.
