Can I launch Tomboy Notes over ssh

  • 772

I have a few machines running Ubuntu and often I need to run an application from one machine on another. So I use ssh to do this as I already have it set up and it is simple to do.

For example

ssh -X netbook liferea

This works well for me as I don't have to sync files or install applications on all my machines.

When I try to do this with Tomboy Notes I get errors:

ssh -X netbook tomboy

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

Is it possible to launch Tomboy Notes over ssh?

command-line

  1. As a quick hack, launch dbus-launch tomboy.
