Opening Phy remotely

[amansaleem]

Does Phy work opening the file remotely?
Before spending time trying to work this out, I was wondering if this is an inherent limitation of phy.

I am currently using Ubuntu 16.04, and I get the following error:
phy: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0

are you using a ssh connection or how are you connecting to the computer running phy? Google around the keywords: ssh -X DISPLAY:0 Suerte! Mauricio Toro E. INDP2015, PhD Student, Learning Lab, Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, Avenida Brasília, 1400-038 Lisbon, Portugal. +351 91 856 3868

phy may not work well on remote connections because of OpenGL.
What you could do perhaps (untested) is mount a remote drive via sshfs:

mkdir myfiles
sshfs [email protected]:/path/to/myfiles myfiles

and then run phy locally.
