A hint online suggested that since I already have X running on :0, I should use "X -query localhost:1" which gets much the same error as above, with one line changed:
":1" is in the wrong place. It should be X :1 -query localhost and go to <Alt-Ctrl-F8>.
Fatal server error: (EE) Xserver: Name or service not known: -query localhost:1
And yet, this command:
Xephyr -query localhost -screen 1024x768 -dpi 96 -terminate :1 &
works exactly as expected, starting X in a box.
I upgraded my Debian-Mate VM to 8.3, and it's using Lightdm. And, I can't find any "Secure Remote" thingy on the login screen or in Lightdm configuration files. -- William
