Missing xorg-X11-apps , xclock in OL8.2

Thank you so much for your prompt reply !!!! Got it fixed.

If I just need to install xclock only, is that possible ? Before I just yum install xclock.  Our IT is very strict on getting X packages installed.

Thanks again

HI Avi and everybody,

https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-8.html  said CodeReady Builder is "for development purposes only. Oracle suggests these not be used in production.". I have to get the xclock on the production server and hence be able to use the  DBCA etc.

Which package repository should be installed?

Thanks again

to use X11 forwarding, still needs to install some X package, isn't it? and perhaps not installing the whole x server, but x client if that is possible in what package if possible?

Thanks

Excellent ! Thanks Dude.

HI Dude,

looking at your VNCpilot notes, XORG-X11-utils still need to be installed and that going back to my question earlier.

# dnf config-manager --enable ol8_codeready_builder

# dnf install xorg-x11-apps

https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-8.html  said CodeReady Builder is "for development purposes only. Oracle suggests these not be used in production."

Which repository has  xorg-x11-apps?

Thanks again

HI Dude,

Thanks for your reply. I have a different output than yours. xorg-x11-apps   is found in CodeReady Builder but not ol8_appstream.

if there are other repositories other than codeready builder, then we can probably install in prod. If possible, Please advise what other repositories does it reside in and is good for production.
