I am using emacs ess and tramp to remotely execute some R script. I typically have an R script on a server, and I run it interactively on my server, through emacs. This work all well and fine.
However I can not manage to have the plot windows appears from my R script. I would like to obtain from emacs the same behavior that if I ran ssh -X user@server.com
and then do some R interactively, with plot appearing on my local machine.
I have modified my .ssh/config to add the ForwardX11 yes
option, which works for a direct ssh query on my sever but not with emacs/trump
I have also tried the option to customize tramp-default-mode` (see https://superuser.com/questions/609414/emacs-doesnt-use-ssh-config-when-accessing-files-on-a-remote-machine ) but this does not work either.
I also came across this very similar question: How can I launch an x-window from emacs ess when running R on a server?
However:
1) The accepted answer is not a direct answer to the forwardX problem
2) The second answer is not working (am I doing something wrong ? or missing a configuration somewhere?)
Thanks for your help,
edit I use Emacs 23.1.1 on a Ubuntu 16.04
(with-eval-after-load 'tramp
(add-to-list 'tramp-methods
'("sshx11"
(tramp-login-program "ssh")
(tramp-login-args (("-l" "%u") ("-p" "%p") ("%c")
("-e" "none") ("-X") ("%h")))
(tramp-async-args (("-q")))
(tramp-remote-shell "/bin/sh")
(tramp-remote-shell-login ("-l"))
(tramp-remote-shell-args ("-c"))
(tramp-gw-args (("-o" "GlobalKnownHostsFile=/dev/null")
("-o" "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null")
("-o" "StrictHostKeyChecking=no")
("-o" "ForwardX11=yes")))
(tramp-default-port 22)))
(tramp-set-completion-function "sshx11" tramp-completion-function-alist-ssh))
This is just a copy of the "ssh" method, with the "-X" added to tramp-login-args. Then you can visit a file/directory with Cx Cf /sshx11:user@host:path/to/target
