ssh into ubuntu 7.10 guest

Post by IMELucky »

Hi

I'm trying to login into my ubuntu guest from my apple x11 xterm.

My goal is that I want to be able to run a single application (such as a game or kword) from my ubuntu guest without having to see the whole desktop.

What I've tried to do is
ssh -x 10.0.2.15

and I get

ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.15 port 22: Operation timed out

What am I doing wrong? or maybe there's a better way to approach this rather then using ssh?

This is not possible of course as the guest network is not directly visible from the host (that is how NAT is working). You have to use a host interface instead, please refer to the user manual. Though I'm not sure if this is already supported by the Mac beta yet.
