Using X Windows on Microsoft Windows with Xming
- Download PuTTY
for your SSH client
- Go and download Xming's files, Xming-fonts (Xming-fonts-7-5-0-11-setup.exe) and
Xming (Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe)
- Install PuTTY, then Xming then Xming-fonts.
If all went well, there should be a start menu entry (and maybe a
desktop icon) for Xlaunch.
Next, a sequence
of
screen shots showning Xlaunch's steps.
You should choose the following sequence of options:
Window 1: Multiple WIndows
Window 2: Start a program
Window 3: For "start program", choose xterm, choose Using PuTTY, then connect to computer tuba.stat.fsu.edu or stat.fsu.edu
Window 4: goto "Next >" button
Window 5: you'll probably want to "save configuration".
If it works, it'll ask for your password, then pop up a small
rectangular window with a shell prompt to enter commands. At this
point, you can run any available windowed program: OpenBUGS, matlab
(2006), matlab09a, matlab10b (tuba only) or R after running
library("Rcmdr") to open an R Commander window.
Note: this works best in the department. X-windows is a known consumer
of network bandwidth, and your results from home maybe disappointing to
flat-out unusable, depending on who your network provider is.
