If I enter the dbus commands, then bash doesn't squawk at me. When I came into the office this morning, however, I couldn't get gedit, Evince, Kate, etc. to work from PASE or PuTTY. The main difference I see is that openSUSE is running in Virtualbox. The messages I get are: blake@linux-1cwq:~&gt; gedit --display=:0 No protocol specified (gedit:14728): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 I've researched i... <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zRaG73cJCrCZsr6aXwIhwQ5vNis/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zRaG73cJCrCZsr6aXwIhwQ5vNis/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zRaG73cJCrCZsr6aXwIhwQ5vNis/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/zRaG73cJCrCZsr6aXwIhwQ5vNis/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Linuxdesktop4i/~4/hT-Pa321IrE" height="1" width="1"/> http://archive.midrange.com/linuxdesktop4i/201109/msg00013.html http://feeds.midrange.com/~r/Linuxdesktop4i/~3/1wHKQABoPxA/msg00012.html Martin Rowe 2011-09-07T16:40:01-05:00 [snip] Hi Blake I prefer to use Evince (both on Linux &amp; Windows) for PDFs but that needs a bit of dbus manipulation[1] to use. For Adobe Reader it was just: acroread --display=:0 /path/to/pdf As far as I'm aware most X apps support some variation on the --display=:0 option. What I haven't tried yet is seeing if I can get the same apps to open on my home Linux desktop when running 5250 sessions over an ssh tunnel to work.

You could switch the list to iOSX as Trevor suggested since I could ask a question on that subject. :^) I'm working on starting desktop apps. remotely on OS X (opening a PDF on the network). I have been using STRPCCMD from RPG to do this on Windows, but that obviously won't work on Mac OS. So I've fiddled around with rexecd in Lion and can't get it to work with the IBM i, XP or Linux rexec clients.
