Title: Remote mining X11 forwarding, nvidia-settings not detect GPU
Post by: ethereal1m on January 29, 2018, 04:31:53 PM
Helo all,
anybody is remotely connecting mining rig using X11 forwarding with Nvidia GPUs? When I do X11 forwarding over ssh, I could bring up the GUI, but nvidia-settings command cannot detect any GPU card on the machine, saying:

Code:
ERROR: Error querying enabled displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension).

any ideas? Or maybe possible other solution to execute nvidia-settings command remotely? My rig was a Ubuntu machine and tried to connect from a Windows machine

well, I just need to set the display to 0.0 in the ssh session by executing:

export DISPLAY=:0
