In order to invoke the GUI Interface for any application installation in oracle/ibm stacks or any other GUI mode of installation is easy .
There are variety of tools available to invoke the gui from Linux servers like vncserver . In this post I will brief about xming which is one of tools used to invoke the GUI.
Download the xming from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ or any other location from web.
Install the xming binaries, once you install you can see XLaunch on your applications/Desktop. click on XLaunch
On the Display number you can choose to give any number here in example I have given 20 and then click next
click next
click next
click Finish
once we configured the XLaunch we need to update x11 on the putty to use the XLaunch. open the putty
under the X11 forwarding check the box for Enable X11 forwarding and in X display location provide the following.
localhost:20 ( which we have chosen as Display Number)
Now connect to the server
once login to the servers please execute the following commands.
xauth list ( this command will list the xauth listeners running on the server) copy the latest one and execute below command
xauth add <> ( you need to paste the line you have copied in above step)
Now you can invoke xclock from your console which will open the clock on your desktop for testing the connectivity.
