WIN10最简步骤配置本地X server通过SSH X11 forwarding访问虚拟机图形程序

背景说明

我的环境清单:

• Win10宿主机
• WSL Ubuntu 20.04 UWP
• Virtual Box 6.1下使用mininet-2.2.2镜像文件创建的虚拟机

起因是按照mininet官网说明执行虚拟机内的wireshark, 这需要在宿主机上运行X server, 开启WSL下SSH的X11 forwarding功能, 并连接到虚拟机, 之后即可正常运行虚拟机内的图形程序

配置步骤

• X server

X server 在Win10下主要有两种开源实现:

Xming和vcxsrv, 前者内置捐赠, 等于变相付费, 后者免费并且使用Windows原生VS C++进行编译, 无脑选2

由此下载vsxsrv

下载完成后点击开始菜单XLaunch一路默认即可

• 开启客户端和服务端X11 forwarding

X11 forwarding needs to be enabled on both the client side and the server side.

On the client side, the -X (capital X) option to ssh enables X11 forwarding, and you can make this the default (for all connections or for a specific conection) with ForwardX11 yes in ~/.ssh/config.

On the server side, X11Forwarding yes must specified in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Note that the default is no forwarding (some distributions turn it on in their default /etc/ssh/sshd_config), and that the user cannot override this setting.

所以主要是设置好WSL的sshd配置文件

• 大功告成, 执行ssh

ssh -X mininet@mininet-vm
