I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I've tried a number of different Linux desktop remote clients, and have also tried mapping the xhost DISPLAY, however nothing I do is yielding a desktop? I just need to be able to connect to my x Windows and I've already loaded the GNOME & KDE desktop environments.

Hey Andrew,

Could you clarify a bit what your set-up looks like? Which computers have which OS's, how are you attempting to connect, what have you installed, how have you configured what you've installed, what messages or information are you seeing, etc.?

Also, just for information in future, this thread would probably be better posted to the Compute Engine group. In fact, you still could do so, as it's more likely to find more helpful users there. 

Cheers,

Nick

Looks like he did, and our colleague Faizan pointed him toward some good material on Stack Overflow. As an aside, I'm surprised that post hasn't been migrated to ServerFault (which is generally a better forum for configuration and administration questions).

Regards,
Jesse
