Hi guys

I am using ssh to access my school file store, but after I've logged in and attempt to open nedit, I get an error message

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 91 (X_QueryColors)
Value in failed request: 0xfffafad2
Serial number of failed request: 4683
Current serial number in output stream: 4683

please does anybody know how to solve it and why it's occured?

Moreover, can this be done...Can I open nedit from a local machine while connected to a remote machine via ssh?
eg once I'm logged into my school filestore, and enter 'nedit' to start the text editor and then 'save as' to save onto my school filestore? Or can I only access and modify pre existing files from the filestore?

I've looked into ssh, but I can't figure out how to copy a file from a local machine to a remote one....?

If you're trying to copy files, do man scp.

nEdit is a X application. Unless you're doing X11 forwarding over SSH, you're not going to be able to run it. A lot of administrators explicitly disable X11 forwarding. If you need to edit something on the remote system, use the CLI editor that's installed on the server.. typically nano, vi (or more likely, vim), or emacs.

Use sftp or scp to copy files to and from a remote machine.

Is nedit a gui application? If X11 forwarding is not enabled on the remote machine then it will not work.

Using ssh you can do anything you could locally on the remote machine.

Edit: Morphius beat me to it.

nano is a very basic but easy to use editor. If you're doing any programming you'll probably want to learn vim or emacs. Or you could ask your network administrator about X11 forwarding.

That's actually a strange error to me. You should get a default "Graphical library not loaded" or something similar indicating that (as previously pointed out, twice) XWindows isn't running.

Except that the X libs most likely *are* loaded. His terminal is just reporting as a vt102 compatible text console... So the error is bitching about being unable to start an X session, or unable to connect to a running X session.
