New technologies at NG Logic

Recently we have completed a number of projects in Python/Django for our US customers. Our Django teams are getting bigger and bigger, and we encourage our prospect customers to use this technology for their websites. Also we have started development of Android project and expect growth in this segment.

Cygwin comes with a X server. We can use it to display GUI apps from remote Linux box.

Steps on Windows:

  • download Cygwin and its XWin server
  • open port 6000 on the Windows Firewall
  • open Cygwin command prompt and execute XWin -multiwindow -ac

(please note that ac switch disables security, so be sure to use this only in local network behind a firewall)

Commands on Linux:

  • export DISPLAY=[win box ip]:0
  • xhost +
  • xterm

 

Now you should get a x term as a new Windows window :)

 

You should be able also to run xdm to offer login prompt for XWin, but this is a bit more complex.
