Using the graphical interface

By default, ubuntu installation does not support graphical modules. To access graphics under Windows

Download:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/files/latest/download

then, once installed, run Xlaunch

then launch ubuntu on your personal machine and place this line in your $HOME/.bashrc terminal

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

then

source .bashrc

PS: the .bashrc is not visible just with the ls command, you need to use ls -a

Try now running an xterm locally to test first:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xterm

xterm

Once X11 is up and running, connect with ssh -X

ssh -X dahu (ssh -X bigfoot)

The connection is made taking into account the display export, i.e. if you launch a graphical interface directly on dahu/bigfoot or the nodes, it should be displayed on the personal computer.
