How to run yaft remotely, via SSH

habreu71 opened this issue · comments

Hi,

I can successfully run yaft in my local machine, but when I connect to that machine from another one via ssh and try to run yaft I get the following message:

WARN<< ioctl: VT_SETMODE failed (maybe here is not console)
WARN<< ioctl: KDSETMODE failed (maybe here is not console)

and nothing is displayed, I have to type "exit" to get back to the terminal.

Please help. Thank you in advance.

yaft is replacement of linux console.
And it uses framebuffer as a drawing backend.

yaft cannot access remote framebuffer via SSH.
Because framebuffer is local resource.
(If some program access local framebuffer via SSH,
always your local display is updated but it does not affect to your remote framebuffer)
