<div>
I get the following error: &nbsp;xv: Can't open display<br />
<br />
Does xv have to be installed on the machine that I want the picture displayed or just on the machine I am executing the command? &nbsp;If xv has to be installed is there an alternative?<br />
<br />
Is putting the &quot;xhost +xxx.xx.xxx.xx &gt;&nbsp;/dev/null&quot; in the .bashrc file of the user logged in enough to get this to work?

Is putting the "xhost +xxx.xx.xxx.xx > /dev/null" in the .bashrc file of the user logged in enough to get this to work?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have added: &nbsp;&quot;xhost +xxx.xx.xxx.xx &gt;&nbsp;/dev/null&quot; into the .bashrc of the machine I want to display the picture. &nbsp;Where xxx.xx.xxx.xx is the Ip address of the machine with the picture. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
If I'm on the machine with the picture, how would I display this picture remotely on the machine with the modified .bashrc.<br />
<br />
I have done it before but I can't remember how.

Displaying a picture on another linux machine remotely.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
