Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Meddling with X displays over SSH ====== Since I use SDDM, the ''Xauthority'' file is located in a randomly-named file in ''/var/run/sddm''. To meddle with local displays, you can simply: $ export DISPLAY=:0 $ export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/sddm/... Now you can do stuff like ''xset dpms force off'' to turn them off, or open programs on them, or whatever. linux/home/meddling_with_x_displays_over_ssh.txt Last modified: 2022/09/07 20:05by michaelbromilow
