    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
