I have a RL8 vm which requires an X11 windowing server. Looking a the xorg packages it is not clear to me which one or ones I should install. I would appreciate some guidance as I do not wish to create a mess figuring out which are necessary.
“Server for remote access”?
X11 server is the one that draws on the screen for you to see. Traditionally, you do sit on that machine.
X11 client is a program that can run on remote machine and merely send its GUI to X11 server.
After all the security vulnerabilities that is commonly done via ssh “X forwarding”.
The remote machine requires package whose name is about “xorg*auth”.
Admittedly the X11 method to send data to server is inefficient. Some have resorted to running the GUI session on the remote machine (that has no monitor) and transmit the rendered screens over the network as “video stream” is apparently lighter. I’m not fan of those and hence not familiar.
- did not make myself clear: Given these to choose from which ones do I need?
