# Connecting from a Linux Client

|
## SSH without X11 Forwarding
|
|
|
|
This is the standard method. Official X11 support is provided through [NoMachine](nomachine.md).
|
|
For normal SSH sessions, use your SSH client as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh $username@login001.merlin7.psi.ch
|
|
ssh $username@login002.merlin7.psi.ch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSH with X11 Forwarding
|
|
|
|
Official X11 Forwarding support is through NoMachine. Please follow the document
|
|
[{Job Submission -> Interactive Jobs}](../03-Slurm-General-Documentation/interactive-jobs.md#requirements) and
|
|
[{Accessing Merlin -> NoMachine}](nomachine.md) for more details. However,
|
|
we provide a small recipe for enabling X11 Forwarding in Linux.
|
|
|
|
* For enabling client X11 forwarding, add the following to the start of ``~/.ssh/config``
|
|
to implicitly add ``-X`` to all ssh connections:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ForwardAgent yes
|
|
ForwardX11Trusted yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Alternatively, you can add the option ``-Y`` to the ``ssh`` command. In example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -X $username@login001.merlin7.psi.ch
|
|
ssh -X $username@login002.merlin7.psi.ch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* For testing that X11 forwarding works, just run ``sview``. A X11 based slurm view of the cluster should
|
|
popup in your client session:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sview
|
|
```
