How Do I Run GUI Programs On Ubuntu Server From SSH

[Ad_Augendae]

I came across a problem with needing to run a program via ssh, in most cases I would just run as a daemon but openspeedtest-server is GUI based. I did try just running the program via startup (Ubuntu Desktop) but noticed It doesn't start till I login to the machine, how do I get around this problem.

hmmmm.
ssh bob "DISPLAY=:0 nohup openspeedtest-server"

so that only works when physically logged in to the machine
Error: The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.

Next....
sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 & DISPLAY=:10 openspeedtest-server
That will do.
