Running AXIS on a remote computer was created by gemini
Hello,
I'm new to EMC2 and I have not received my CNC Mill yet, but I am starting the installation/configuration. I finally got my RTAI kernel + EMC2 running (Ubuntu 8.04 was not compatible with my D945GCLF Atom Motherboard).
What I would like to do is:
- Run EMC2 without any graphical interface a computer without monitor.
- Use my laptop to remotely control EMC2 with the AXIS interface
I first tried to start a vncserver, but AXIS won't run without OpenGL.
So I tried to run AXIS on Xorg, and I used x11vnc to remotely control it. It works but due to a bug in xserver-xorg-video-intel if I remove the monitor, Xorg does not want to start...
Is it possible to run AXIS on a remote computer and make it control EMC2 througt ethernet?
Thank you,
Yann.

Yann,
One of the guys on the IRC thought this might help you.

Hello John,
I've already seen emcrsh. With it, I could control EMC througt telnet, but it does not solve my wish to run AXIS on a second computer, does it?
What I would like is :
- EMC2 in command line mode on a computer "A" running a RTAI kernel (without X server)
- AXIS (only the graphical interface) running on computer "B" (that have a X server with OpenGL)
Maybe I'm just dreaming and it is not possible.

Isn't that backwards? Don't you need AXIS on the EMC computer 'A' (Its the X11 client)
and a real X11 server on computer B? At least that the way I thought X applications work

You can use Axis throughout SSH.
You need to install openssh-server and xauth packages to the server (computer A)
Then start a SSH connection with -X
ssh -X username@IP_address
No need to install X to the server machine.
