Are you tired of only using console program on your remote Bubba then this how-to is for you.


To be able to run graphical applications from Bubba on your PC there are a few things thats needs to be set up. There is several way you could accomplish this goal. In this how-to we will use the standard Linux/Unix graphic libraries X11 to accomplish this.


First we need to install the X11 server on our Windows pc. I will use the Cygwin/x x.cygwin.com/. Here you can find documentation on how to install the program x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html.

Make sure that you install the following packages: xorg-server, xinit, X-start-menu-icons, openssh

Just search for the package name and then click once on the package so it changes from skip to a version number.
