Help with X....

[JonMusto]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some info on running linux applications remotely. I've done a basic install of RHEL 4 but not included any of the X11 stuff. Could some tell me which RPMs i would need to install to be a able to run linux apps through ssh.

Many Thanks in advance...

Jonathan.

You didn't say what clients (Windows, linux, etc) will be conencting nor what apps will they be running (X11, cli/ curses). In general, you'll need openssh, openssh-server & openssh-client.

You'll also need whatever RPM contains xauth. I'm on fedora, so I can't tell you which one that is.

Hi agian...
The cleints will be web based... Its a system called Tarantella, i don't know if you've heard of it. Basically,
i'm unable to run the Object Manager and Array Manager within this application. I get the following error:

../.././bin/bin/ttaxset: unable to open display ""
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I think it must be because X isnt installed fully..

Further update..

I'm trying to install the xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386.rpm RPM but it says that I need the xinitrc RPM...

So i try and install the xinitrc RPM and it says i need the xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL.i386.rpm!!!

How on earth are you supposed to get around that...???
