Choosing Local Display or Remote Display of the Uninstaller

You can display an uninstaller either locally or remotely while you are uninstalling Oracle Solaris Studio 12.3 software.

Preparing for Uninstallation Using a Remote Display

1. On the display computer, enable client access to the X server by typing the following on the command line:

   xhost + source-computer-name

   Replace source-computer-name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname command entered on the source computer, which is the computer that contains the product CD-ROM or downloaded files.

2. Log in to the source computer and become a superuser (root).

   rlogin source-computer-name -l rootname
   Password: root-password

3. On the source computer, set the display to the monitor that is attached to the display computer.

   If you use the C shell, type:

   setenv DISPLAY display-computer-name:n.n

   If you use the Bourne shell, type:

   DISPLAY=display-computer-name:n.n export DISPLAY

   If you use the Korn shell, type:

   export DISPLAY=display-computer-name:n.n

   Replace display-computer-name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname entered on the display computer.
