My environment consist of a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS VM. This is acting as the Xnest server on socket :2 and port 6002 (as seen by netstat). I'm running the Xnest as client on a Fedora 20 VM. The Ubuntu system runs Xnest 2:1:15:1. My Xnest version on Fedora is 1.14.4-14.fc20. When I try to remote connect from Fedora I can seem to connect but I get a black screen and not sure what I am doing wrong, if anything. I start the server on Ubuntu by running: Xnest :2 From Fedora (the Client) I run: Xnest -ac -query 192.168.17.105 :2 -geometry 1024x768 And here is what I see in Fedora: enter image description here Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong, or if this is possibly a bug?
