Select either X11 forwarding using secure shell (SSH) or the virtual network computing (VNC) to do installations with a graphical user interface (GUI) installer on your Linux system.
Configure SSH with X11 Forwarding
You can use either the -X or -Y flag to enable X11 forwarding through SSH when you log in as the root user. For example:
ssh –Y root@server-name
Note:
If you do not have DNS on your server or the server name does not work, enter the IP address of the server.
(Optional) Install the
xorg-x11-xauth package (if it is not already installed). For example:
yum install xorg-x11-xauth
You can use either the -X or -Y flag to enable X11 forwarding through SSH when you disconnect and log in as the oracle user. For example:
ssh -Y oracle@vm
Find the values for the DISPLAY variable with the
xauth list command.
$ xauth list
<domain name>/unix:11
<domain name>/unix:10
In the example above, either 11 and 10 are suitable values for the DISPLAY variable.
Configure VNC
You can use either the -X or -Y flag to enable X11 forwarding through SSH when you log in as root. For example:
ssh –Y root@server-name
Install the Desktop package group, which includes X11 and gnome-desktop. For example:
