How can I view the desktop (rather than individual program windows) using X?
I've got the pi set up so that it doesn't boot into the desktop environment (CLI right now). On my Ubuntu destkop I connect to the pi using ssh -X ipaddress -l username
and then I run startlxde
.
When I do that, I don't get what I expect (a window opening up where I can view the entire raspi desktop). Instead I get the LXDE taskbar superimposed over the top of my Ubuntu desktop, covering things up.
Am I not understanding how X works or am I doing something wrong?
