X11 Video Output Xcb Music
Ssh -X or ssh -Y have a problem displaying anything other than a xterm. I tried matlab but I just see the splashscreen on the client and the actual application opens on the server. Same for firefox; it opens on the server instead of the client machine. Any ideas about what it could be?

You need to change the video output in vlc. Click on Video on top of panel Change output from automatic to X11 (XCB). [Tutorial] - Configure VLC to play.

I find that this happens when the user's.profile,.login,.bashprofile,.bashrc,.cshrc,.kshrc,.tcshrc,.zshrc, etc. Sets the DISPLAY environment variable. So when you ssh into your remote system what does DISPLAY say? Echo $DISPLAY I have been using, from a Linux system, things like gvim, xload, Firefox some merge tool our company's source code control system uses, etc. Without any problems. And from my Mac displaying locally, I've been using TightVNC, xload, and local gvim compiled for X11.

Then the answer is Apple does not use X11 as its windowing technology, and the only way to export the display of a Mac Aqua based Window is to use VNC and export the entire screen. Mac OS X includes includes a built-in VNC server. System Preferences - Sharing - Screen Sharing. Or you can install the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc). Depending on what you are doing and what your VNC client is, one server is better than the other.
Note, even if Apple implemented a way to export a single applications windows, there is nothing to say it will use X11 protocols. Jan 22, 2009 7:53 PM. Well, I don't know. I was asking about that. My goal is to have matlab GUI on a remote machine.
If I used the built-in VNC, will I be able to have multiple users logged in the mac server each one with its own desktop and programs running or will all the connections see the same thing? If you are talking about Apple's Mac OS X Server solftware, that might have the ability to serve up multiple Screen Sharing sessions. But for that you should be asking in the ' Apple.com Support Discussions Mac OS X Server' forum: I also know that Mac OS X Server allows VMware to run multiple copies of Mac OS X, which would be another approach on a server. The retail consumer version of Mac OS X screen sharing just exports what is on the screen. And VMware is on the consumer version is not allowed to run Mac OS X. Again, I think your question is better asked in the Mac OS X Server forum.

VNC allows you to see ONE desktop on a remote machine I also know that Mac OS X Server allows VMware to run multiple copies of Mac OS X, which would be another approach on a server.
This could be a workaround but I would like to save the cpu time and my time for the scientific part. At this point it seems that THERE IS NO CLEAN WAY to have OS + MATLAB on a server and access MATLAB GUI from different remote computers each one with its own independent processes running.

VNC allows you to see ONE desktop on a remote machine RealVNC is just one VNC implementation. That does not say anything about how Mac OS X Server handles multiple desktops.
And Apple provides its own VNC server. I think you need to ask this question in the Mac OS X Server forum where there are people that actually have experience using the server. I know you can trick the retail consume version of Mac OS X into having multiple desktops using the Vine Server (aka OSXvnc). I am not suggesting you use this, only pointing out that it is possible, and maybe Mac OS X Server has its own flavor. Jan 23, 2009 12:37 PM.
To fine tune these terms: in the X Windows world, 'client' and 'server' do not refer to the computers involved, or hardware of any sort; they refer to software running on one or more computers. This is why it can be confusing, because we most often hear those terms used to refer to computer systems. But X Windows is different. The 'server' software provides basic X windows functionality on a computer, and it needs to be the computer the user is sitting in front of.
The 'client' is the application that is actually doing the work. Examples include xterm, xclock, emacs, or even matlab. The client software can and often does run on the same computer as the server software, or it can run on some other remote computer. The server software kind of runs in the background and provides services to other applications that use those services to do interesting things like draw windows and interpret mouse clicks. The 'other applications' can be local or remote. The other applications use the DISPLAY environment variable to find out where to send their requests for services.

At my workplace matlab is hosted on a linux machine and the users just log in to that machine using 'Nomachine', it's like vnc, a bit more robust and fluid in my experience, exports the whole linux desktop environment to the client(be it linux, windows or mac). I'm fairly sure there's a mac version of it both server and client, don't know how it works if it creates a new virtual desktop or if it uses whatever is on the screen on the physical mac. Depending on the matlab license you're running, you might only be able to use one copy of matlab at the same time on the same machine.
