  • 1.  Use DevTest workstation as a GUI in Linux using X11 Forwarding

    Posted Aug 31, 2020 09:22 AM
    Hi All,
    I am trying to use X11 Forwarding to invoke the DevTest workstation (installed in a Linus-RHEL machine) as a GUI. X11 Forwarding is already installed but unable to run xclock when I login as the DevTest user - lisasvc using SSH with X11 Forwarding option in Putty. Also if I try to run workstation using the command - ./Workstation, the workstation just runs in command line instead of opening in a GUI window.

    Could anyone share your experiences if you did something similar? Appreciate your help and inputs.

    On Linux side, have you set your DISPLAY variable? Otherwise the workstation would not know that it needs to start up in GUI mode on Linux. (that's what I remember from running the workstation on a linux machine using X-Windows (X11), this was many, many moons ago)

     

    Cheers,

    Danny

    Thanks Danny for your response. Yes, the display variable has been set. Below is the output of echo $DISPLAY
    <Machine Name>:10.0

    Hi Rahul,

    I assume you already have Gnome or similar setup available for your linux machine.

    Try executing below command once and retry:
    yum install libXtst

    If already installed, try installing below packages :
    yum install libXext.x86_64
    yum install libXrender.x86_64
    yum install libXtst.x86_64

    Also, refer to below links for more details:

    Hi Vaibhav,
    We have not installed GNOME or KDE. My support team mentioned that X11 Forwarding should be sufficient here. Hence I wanted to check if anyone else ran into problems using X11 Forwarding.
