I have a headless debian server that I SSH into regularly. I want to know set it up so that users can ssh in and then run something like iceweasel, and a window will popup on their machine which is the browser window. I don't want to install KDE or Gnome or anything like that on the server. I have tightvncserver running on the server, and a vnc client on the windows machine. However, when I connect I get the following message: Xsession: X session started for myuser at Wed Mar 28 15:41:39 EDT 2012  Xsession: unable to start X session --- no /home/myuser/.xsession  file, no /home/myuser/.Xsession file, no session managers, no window  managers, and no terminal emulators found; aborting.What am I missing? I feel I am a bit confused with ssh+vnc, and how it all works together. Should the client use putty to connect first? then try and vnc in separately outside of putty? Any help would be great!
Headless Debian Server + Windows Clients + X11 Forwarding
ssh;x11;vnc
You'll need to install an X Windows server on your windows box. I recommend XMing http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/.On your linux box, enable X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_configWhen connecting to your server from Putty, click on Connection > SSH > X11 > Tick X11 ForwardingOnce you've logged in, you can test if it's working by running$ echo $DISPLAYOutput should look like thislocalhost:11.0Then try run a GUI application$ xclock
