OCI: How to Setup X for X11 Forwarding in Oracle Linux 8
in Linux
APPLIES TO:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Oracle Linux 8 (any version)
GOAL:
How to install basic X libraries and clients to allow X11 Forwarding via SSH in Oracle Linux 8
SOLUTION:
The legacy X11 clients such as xclock/xeyes etc, are no longer included with Oracle Linux 8 standard repositories.
They can however be obtained from a development repository although not recommended for production usage.
To install the packages and perform the setup, follow the below steps:
1) Enable the CodeReady-builder repository
# dnf config-manager --enable ol8_codeready_builder
2) Install the needed packages. This will pull also multiple required dependencies:
# dnf install xorg-x11-apps xorg-x11-xauth
