Hoooorray
Ben's bundle + script works here. What I did:
I downloaded soylatte [1], ben's bundle and ben's script. Unzip soylatte, put the jai
stuff from /System/Library/Java/Extensions/ and the jai that comes with gvSIG
(~/Library/Java/Extensions/jai_imageio.jar) into soylatte .../jre/lib/ext, edit ben's
script for my environment and uncomment soylatte and launch the script.
Why I think this is marvelous?
Now I can work remotely in my office machine (ram loaded) with my meager MacBook and use
all the data I have in it.
how?
I edit etc/ssh_config & /etc/sshd_config in the remote machine.
ssh_config
#ForwardX11 no
by
ForwardX11 yes
sshd_config
#X11Forwarding no
by
X11Forwarding yes
and from a X11 terminal ssh -Y myremotemachine -l myuser
Thanks a lot Ben, you did my week.
Can I share your bundle with others?
