people whomst understand linux... can i ssh into my pocketchip (which has its own screen etc) and from that terminal-only ssh launch graphical applications to the chip's regular screen?

like i imagine there's a "graphical session" running locally and my ssh "session" can i launch things in the other session from the ssh one?

@candle Yes - if the pocketchip is running X, you can launch graphical apps in the X session via ssh by setting the DISPLAY environment variable in the ssh session, provided both sessions are running under the same user.
e.g. export DISPLAY=:0

(It's usually :0 for the default session on a single user system, but you can launch a terminal from the X session and run `echo $DISPLAY` to check the actual value.)

@candle I'm 100% sure you can do it, but I have no idea how

@troubleMoney @candle you have to specify display :0 i believe and passing that setting varies from program to program or it's some env variable i think

the pocketchips screen is a regular x display if that helps

@candle maybe! try exporting the DISPLAY environment variable to whatever it is when you launch a terminal on it
