details), to avoid typing in the password.
set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost ssh-keygen -t rsa ssh %USERNAME%@%LINUX_HOST% "mkdir .ssh; chmod 0700 .ssh" bash -c 'scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub %LINUX_HOST%:.ssh/authorized_keys2'
Now, if you save the following as a BATCH file, you can just click it
to connect to fullscreen Linux:
set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost start /min xinit xhost +%LINUX_HOST% ssh %LINUX_HOST% "declare -x DISPLAY=%COMPUTERNAME%:0; echo $DISPLAY;gnome-session"'
NOTES:
1.
Sometimes xhost + does not execute in time. O well. Just close
all windows that got opened and try again.
2.
If you didn't do the step one (ssh keys), you will be prompted
to enter the linux password; this increases the chances of the above
error.
3.
The single terminal window appearing in the Linux desktop is in fact
a window from your PC.
XWin.exe -query hostname
Make a shortcut and set this as the target (may need path to XWin.exe). Double-click to login, fullscreen, to remote machine.
