I am trying to display Rstudio on my laptop (where I have Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS) using X11 forwarding with ssh to connect to my Imac at home.
I set up all the files (ssh_config and sshd_config) on my Imac (which I am using as a server) to allow the forwarding. I also install xauth on my Imac. However, when I connect to my Imac using
ssh -X username@IPAddress
and launch Rstudio with open -a Rstudio
, Rstudio opens on my Imac but its not displayed on my laptop.
However, if I launch xterm
, a window opens up on my laptop, making me think that the connection I set up is correct. I also tried to reverse the process, which means I tried to ssh into my laptop (in this case used as server) using my Imac and launch firefox
, in this case the firefox window is displayed correctly on my Imac.
What am I missing when I try to display Rstudio on my laptop?
Thank you for your help.
