Often we come across a very common obstacle as the need to open a graphics program in LINUX or AIX. We can solve this very easily using Xming tool, with it we can export the chart to display the workstation (Windows window) without complication.
1º – Xming download
2º – Install the application
3º – When starting the installation, always follow the default options (NEXT, NEXT, FINISH) and uncheck the “Launch Xming” the end of installation to NOT run the Xming. See image below.
4º – Xming configuration
[ Select display settings ]
Keep default like the image below.
[ Select how to start Xming ]
Keep default like the image below.
[ Specify parameter settings ]
Select the option “No Access Control”, forward and ready. If you have the need to enable security for each host “guest” you need to enter the IP address connection from the source to allow the use of XServer.
5º – How to use Xming
The Xming server is located on the taskbar next to the clock when it is running.
After setup and initialized, simply access the Linux or AIX server with SSH (Putty) and export the DISPLAY to the workstation where you installed the Xming.
$ export DISPLAY=ip_worstation:0.0
$ xclock
In this example, typing “xclock” we display the clock on the workstation.
In this example, typing “dbca” we display the Oracle configuration interface (Database Configuration Assistant).
